There are some comparison charts about, like this one

But it's not really a useful comparison to make, in my opinion.

DO NOT directly swap your levo to NDT it doesn't work. Thats why doctors tell you to do it that way so they can say they have ruled it out. I stopped levo for 3 weeks begore starting a low dose of NDT and building it up over a few weeks. I couldn't believe how well I felt even on a low dose!

Not what you're looking for?
