How should I take t3(Thybon 20 mcg).

[adin]

Just received the T3(online order with Rx) and I don't know exactly how do I take.

Just on levo, I feel like a crap(I had R.A.I. after my B.Graves). My fT3 is low but in range.

I tried a while a combination of ndt(1/2grain nature throid) and levo but don't obtain the expected result (and recently I abandoned), so I decided to try T3 and levo.

I read different opinions here. So, should I start with a lower dose(maybe 2,5 or 5mcg -T3) along with my current morning dose of T4(150mcg levo) or should I

decrease the levo dose when I add the T3? After a while I want to increase the dose, depending on how I feel.

Any suggestions would be welcome, thank you.

Sorry for my bad english.

Adin, what are your TSH, FT4 and FT3 results with ranges (figures in brackets after results)?

Hi Clutter, the latest results from October are TSH 0,74(0,4-4,5); fT4 18(10,3-24,4) and fT3 4,07(3,2-6,8). I was on ndt(1/2gr) and levo(100mcg) at that time. Unfortunately I don' t have more recent results. Now am on 150mcg levo and i don' t feel well(tired, gained,

dry skin, etc).

Thank you.

Adin, I can't guess what your levels are on 150mcg. I would add a quarter of a tablet (5mcg) T3 to see whether it helps with fatigue and have a thyroid test in 6 weeks.

Thank you for your quick response. Should I take the 5 mcg t3 in the evening too or just in the morning with my levo?

[Clutter in reply to adin]

Adin, easiest to take it with your Levothyroxine in the morning.
