T3 strength

Hi,I feel that I tolerated more t3 only dose than thyroxine and t3 together.I was on t3 40 to 45 MCG,but now can only tolerate 50 MCG thyroxine and 20mcg t3. Is t3 only more potent than t3 and thyroxine together ?

Susiebow,

No, 20mcg T3 is 20mcg T3 whether you take it on it's own or with 50mcg Levothyroxine. If you can't tolerate increasing 20mcg T3 have you tried increasing 50mcg Levothyroxine?

Yes it is,just feel hyper on my doses of t4and t3 as opposed to equivalent of t3 only.

Surely you would be better on T3 only if T4 is affecting you?
