Hi,
Can anyone tell me the safest way to move back to Levo from NDT, currently taking two grains and not feeling great and so much worries me about self-medicating. I knew where I was at more with Levo, whereas with NDT I haven't got a clue
Thanks
Jenna
I don't take NDT so can't advise on it but if you haven't had your vitamin levels tested yet, I would do that. It seems that some people who felt very unwell are doing better since they checked vitamin levels and optimised them. Then if you decide to make the switch, hopefully you'll be tip top and Levothyroxine will have a better chance of working well.
Hi, thanks for your reply. I've had my vitamins checked and on all types for supplements now, levels are getting better, still don't feel better though. I'm not enjoying self-medicating and would rather change back. Hopefully someone can guide me, as decided now I want off NDT asap. 
It's good you're getting supplements for vitamin levels. I only take levothyroxine and it took a while to feel better with supplements after many years of feeling unwell. I have to keep an eye on vitamin levels still. What you need to know is the equivalence of NDT to levothyroxine since you should be able to switch back no problem.
It takes about 3 days for T3 to clear your system I think so if you left a little gap of a few days and then started with levothyroxine equivalent to the dose you're on it I would have thought it would be alright. Or you could just start with a lowish dose of levothyroxine after stopping NDT and increase it in a week's time when the T3 that's in NDT has cleared your system.
I think the administrators will have a more definitive answer to your question so I hope they'll be along to answer your question soon.
Jenna5,
How much Levothyroxine were you taking before you switched to NDT?
2 grains NDT is equivalent to 130mcg Levothyroxine.
Hi, I was in 150 Levo. Would I just do a straight swap back to that or do I have to do it gradually like when I went onto NDT?
Jenna5,
You can swap straight back. You only had to titrate NDT to get used to the T3.
I think I'll do that. My endo will be over the moon that I'm moving back to Levo, not that I want to give him that satisfaction hehe
If 2 grains are equal to 130 Mcg of Levo perhaps you just needed to take some more NDT ? What is your ft3 level ?
What are your temps like today, you were probably 1 grain under dosed @ 2 grains NDT if previously 150mcg Levo.
Re post ...ndt/levo combo to levo only and back to ndt/levo combo 
Anyone change back to levo. from NDT.
Thinking of switching back to Levo from NDT
