Anyone tried WP of the NDT thyroid med before? How did you feel while on it did it work? Any side effect?

[Ah21]

Hello everyone! Long story short, my thyroid level changed after giving birth to my son since beginning of last year. Ever since it was never stable with Syndroid which I took for over 5 years since the birth of my first girl. I lately tried Naturethroid didn't work. Then read up Westhroid pure saw the best comments with fewest ingredients so gave it a try but at dr office I asked for Westhroid 65 mcg only (thought they all the same...didn't realize their are up to 3 different names) used it for over a week...back fire...same terrible feeling like when I was on naturethroid, too weak...heart rate super low. Then realized that I should have asked for WP instead. I am running some deadline to meet for my work so I really need to have my energy back. Please help me with any suggestion on this new med WP. I really appreciate it!

Thanks everyone!

When you say it didn't work, how long did you try it for and how high did you raise the dose?

[Ah21 in reply to NatChap]

The naturethroid I didn't raise it that high yet only at 32 for a month. But I knew it not working because I felt it didn't improve anything with extreme fatigue. Same thing with Westhroid at 65....I knew I couldn't raise anymore doses because I once did and I got a drug reaction really bad. I was helpless with the 2 so I tried to find the way out

Have you had a cortisol test done?

[Ah21]

Soon in a few months I will have cortisol test done. Didn't know about it till a few months earlier. I already had iron and thyroid antibody test done though. Everything was good.

Have you posted test results on here for advise? Just thinking it might be a good idea to start a new post with results and see if anyone can offer any suggestions? I just can't see that it would be the brand that's causing you problems.

Thanks, I'll do so later. I am trying out WP for the first time today and I know it also has a lot to do with how we take the med. I think I should just stick to the old way or swallow the whole pill stead of breaking it up in half and chew it. Also I have GI issues so I usually drink some green drinks for helping it but soon after taking the pill so not sure if the iron in the drink causes any affect to it
