NDT ERFA

[janeycp]

Hi

I have stopped taking Levo after seeing a functional medicine doctor and started on ERFA ndt.

I was taking 75mcg Levo and have replaced with 1 grain NDT

Day 3 and I am feeling really tired can anyone advise of their experience of change over and whether it takes a while to adjust? Thanks

Did you take your old regenerate one day and then start on the one grain the next day? How good were your recent results on Levo? Have you any results you can post for that?

It does take a while to get on the correct dose for you but the T4 in your system should cushion the change. Are you splitting your grain into two doses?

Hi yes I stopped Levo one day and started NDT the next 4 days ago. I did post my last results a few weeks ago

And I do not split the dose do you think I should ?

It can take a little while to adjust. Levothyroxine takes about six weeks to gradually diminish and leave your system. You have also taken 1 grain which is approx 100mcg of T4 so you could be slightly overdosed. You could take 3/4 of a tablet which is around 75mcg or allow a little longer than 3 days to see if improvements follow.

It is unfortunate we are dealing with hormones and it takes time.

Thank you Shaw's

I will persevere and see how I feel in a few weeks, I just feel so tired, sleeping better though

One improvement is a step forward and to give you a bit of encouragement as I had to try quite a few before I got to where I am today. We are all so different.
