Where to buy liothyronin?

[VictoriaSimpson]

Where do you buy your liothyronin guys? I have looked online but feel a bit nervous buying bulk and my bank charges a lot for the overseas payments.

I am on levo 50 but it does nothing. I have put 3 stones on and all I want to do is just sit and stare at one spot please help.

VictoriaSimpson,

Have you had thyroid tests to check you are optimally medicated on 50mcg Levothyroxine?

[VictoriaSimpson in reply to Clutter]

Yes I had. I will know the results tomorrow. But they have been normal within the range.

VictoriaSimpson,

TSH 0.35 and 5.20 are both normal in the range 0.30 - 5.50 but the person with the lower TSH will usually feel well whereas the person with the higher TSH will feel lousy. If your TSH is high it is likely that a dose increase to reduce it to 1.0 or lower will be satisfactory and you may not need T3.

Post your results and ranges in a new question and members will advise.

Thank you. I will tomorrow when I find out. Unfortunately GP are not willing to even tell me the exact results and even if TSH is 4,9 it is still normal for them and they won't increase levo.

VictoriaSimpson,

The Data Protection Act entitles patients to their results and ranges. Normal is an opinion, insist on the results and ranges. If necessary make a written subject access request and report the practice to the Information Commissioner's Office if they don't comply within 40 days.
