I wasn't well on NDT so several weeks ago I decided to switch to T3 only I ordered from Greece . I can tell that I really feel the difference for the better. I am on 75 mcg of T3 and I was just thinking did my T4 cleared by now or I should still wait for this to happen and will I be feeling a bit hyper when it happens? Thanks.

Peanut5, most of the T4 will be out of your system after 5 weeks but it will probably take up to 8 weeks for it all to have cleared. You should have a FT3 test 6-8 weeks after starting T3 to check FT3 remains within range.

Thank you. I wasn't sure how long it lasts. If 8 week should be tops, still have time until then.
Hi, just wanted to say I was on 2 1/2 grains NDT, but I only need 40 mcg of T3 I Just go by how I feel. Seems so less complicated than all I've tried.
Feel smashing. Best ever.

Yes, I guess we don't have much use of T4 in NDT but if we look at conversion charts they tell us how much NDT will be in only T3 ideally - if we are converting T4 properly, but if we are not than we need less of T3 when we switch to it. I still don't know what will be my optimal dose of T3, I still wait for my T4 to clear and then I will see. I do feel much better already, so that's the main thing

May I ask you how are you dosing your T3 alone? All in one go or multi dosing during the day?
I take mine one dose of 5 mcg at 4 pm and another 5 mcg at night plus levo in the morning.
• in reply toCavalli13
I also take it through the day, I was doing the same thing with NDT so I just continued the same way with T3. So I take it 4 times a day, morning, noon, afternoon and small dose in the evening, don't know is this last necessary but it calms me down.
Peanuts 5 could you PM me the site/ address where I can get T3 in Greece the one from the US is getting so expensive I don't know if I can continue to pay such prices.
Hope you can help.
peanut5 sorry I spelled you your name wrong

can i ask what made you switch? I am on NDT and dont feel much better but wondering whether i need to try t3 or go gluten free!! confused...

Well, after moderate initial improvement on NDT, I was somehow stuck, one day I was feeling more or less okay, but the next I was sick again. It was like that all the time. Sometimes in the same day I would feel better and then awful. And I wasn't going anywhere with that. I needed constant steady improvement. I think with T3 I will achieve this since i already feel much better and stable.
Thanks again peanut5 let you a brief pm.I hope you continue to feel the benefit of T3 only replacement.All good wishes

Did you send me pm back? Sorry but I didn't get it.
I wasn't feeling well on NDT as well. When I changed to only T3 it took around 4-5 weeks to get T4 out of the system, so it was quite fast in my case.
• in reply to
Thanks. I am on T3 for a month now so will see how fast T4 will clear in my case.
• in reply to
You will feel it.
Peanut5, would you mind sending me a PM with information about your source of T3?
Thanks,
Cat

Cannot thank you enough
Hi Dynel. I started to feel the difference on T3 within just a week or two. Got more energy and started to feel really good. Hope your condition will improve on T3 too.
Glad to hear. Keep me informed
Peanut5, could you PM me your source of T3?
Thanks
