T3

Hi

Could anyone tell me by PM where I can reliably source T3? In addition, how do I start dosing and reducing my Levo? I take 150mcg most days, 125 twice a week.

Thanks

25mcg of T3 is approx between 75 and 100mcg of levo (in it's effect). You don't need to reduce your levo and can start on T3 but I'd take a lower dose for a week then increase T3 by about 1/4 or 1/2 tablet about every two weeks till you have no clinical symptoms and feel better.

Before you begin take your pulse/temp several times a day so you have a starting point when you begin T3. If pulse/temp goes too high drop to the previous dose.

I wish you success.

I should have said take hormones with one full glass of water on an empty stomach and wait about an hour before eating.

Is it OK to take T3 and T 4 together?

Can anyone PM me as well regarding reliable source of T3? Can I get it without prescription?

After 5 years of taking levo with little result I convinced my GP to refer me to endo.

I was shocked few days ago when I got the letter from endo saying he will not see me because my TSH and FT4 are perfect! (TSH 1.72 ulU/ml [0.27-4.2] FT4 21.0 pmol/l [12-22] 90%, FT3 4.7 pmol/l [3.1-6.8] 43.2%. I am speechless…
