NDT

[Print1972]

Hi. Last week a started NDT, after Levo was causing me a lot of feet and achilles pain. I started by going half Levo in the morning then 1 grain of NDT early afternoon. I've now switched to full NDT. One morning and one early afternoon. I just want to know if this is the best way to take NDT, or is one hit in the morning more effective?

Print1972,

It's probably best to split the dose to give a more even distribution of T3. How much Levothyroxine were you taking and what dose NDT are you taking?

I was on 125mcg of levothyroxine. I'm now taking 1 grain of NDT in the morning and 1 grain early afternoon.

Spot on dosing!

Cheers. The aches are decreasing day by day. I'm amazed doctors still prescribe Levo, with so many people having side affects.

Thanks. I'll take a look. However, I am finding that as each day passes, I'm feeling more tired. I suppose it means I may have to increase the dosage.
