T3 in addition to Levothyroxin-

[susybu]

I am on 125mcg Levothyroxine. Been up and down over the last 12 years.

I am putting on weight (two stone in the past year) even though the thyroxine has gone up from 100mcg over the last year. It would seem that to take T3 might be the answer.

I am 56 years old. The medication JODETTEN Henning 1x wöchentlich Tabletten 28 St seems to look like it might be the right thing. 1530 microgrammes... how many should i take? it says its weekly...im confused can someone help me please. It appears that I need to take about 6.50mcg to start (someone suggested in a previous postto a similar question) Please couold someone message me

I currently take 150mcg Levothyroxin

Susybu,

If you post your recent TSH, FT4 and FT3 results and ranges members will advise whether you are optimally dosed on your current Levothyroxine dose or whether the addition of T3 might be helpful.

JODETTEN Henning 1x wöchentlich Tabletten 28 St is iodine not T3. Unless you are iodine deficient you should be getting the iodine you require from Levothyroxine and diet.

apparently my doctors doesn't test for T3

But here are the results

TSH .03

LH 20.4

T4 25.2

That is all they have on record

is that any help?

Susybu,

Do you have the lab ref ranges (figures in brackets after the results)?

FT3 isn't included but you can order private FT3 via thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

Brilliant thank you

There are a number of tests on that page. Should i just order T3 or should i order a full test?

Susybu,

If you can afford it order TSH, FT4, FT3 and thyroid antibodies if you've not previously had them tested.
