Day 2 of NDT Naturethroid - not feeling good

Hi everyone,

I posted yesterday about my first dose of NDT, this morning I woke up with an awful headache and a painful neck. Should I persevere today or as suggested by someone yesterday should I miss today's dose and take a lower dose tomorrow?

Anybody else's experience of taking NDT would be much appreciated

Thankyou

Faultyimmune,

How much Levothyroxine were you taking?

Usual advice is to reduce Levothyroxine dose by 75mcg and introduce 1 grain NDT and then reduce Levothyroxine by 37.5mcg and increase NDT by 1/2 grain two weeks later and repeat 2 weeks later.

there was a transition period of 2 mths b4 I felt balanced bec my body was not used to getting the t3 In ndt and I had to split the dosage or I would get a head rush....after 2-3 mths I could take the dose all at once....and I am fine taking it.....I went from 100 t4 to 1.5 ndt
