I have always been thin, will it make me lose weight? I have worked hard to get my weight where it is right now. Thanks

I take a combination of Levo and T3. It hasn't made me lose weight, I weigh more now than I did before adding it.

Did you lose weight when you were taking T3 before?

Topaz6,

I didn't lose weight on T3 only but I lost 7kg when I was switched to Levothyroxine. I don't lose weight on T4+T3. I was advised to eat frequent small meals to gain weight and I found it helpful to have protein shakes in between meals.
