Wanted to say thank you to clutter :) saw GP who agreed with you about increasing my T4 rather than adding T3 yet :) I've been taking 75mcg of Levo and he has suggested 100mcg with 75mcg on alternate days :) which my friend did suggest a while ago ! .. He said should be able to bring T4 up so more to convert like you said :) .. Thank you again for your help xx👍

Lynwinn, thanks for posting. I'm glad the advice helped and your GP has increased dose.

Yes he agreed with you and said best to try increasing Levo before jumping to T3 :) .. Just got to wait for it to kick in ? Trying to keep my stress levels down found a good book by Claire weeks that seems to help :) Thank you again xxxxxxxxx

PS do you know if activis comes in 100mcg ?? XXXX

Hi, Have you tried a pill cutter. I have one from Tesco pharmacy it cost £2.50 and is magic for cutting even in quarters. x
