Morning everyone. I’ve been on NDT for about 6 weeks now. I am taking 1 1/2 grains each day instead of the 100mcg of levo.
My head fog, nausea and stomach acid have vanished, I’ve even got through most days without a nap too, so the difference has been amazing so far.
My new symptoms are headaches for the last few days and almost like a buzzing in my head. Totally new to me.
I haven’t had my blood test yet but will get booked in. Is this normal with NDT?
That sounds really good news but you may need to reduce the dose a bit when you get your test results. Your levels may have built up over the weeks and you may not need as much now. 1.5 grains is a higher dose than 100mg of Levo according to ratio I was advised to, and work to. I wouldn’t change anything until you have results though.
Thank you. I’ll order a blood test. I kept it at one grain for ages, but after the initial spike where I was bouncing off the walls, the head fog, fatigue and cold crept back in. I decided to up the dose from that.
Before doing any changes, it is best to test your blood levels to see where your levels are on 1.5 grains.
Thank you. I’ll get one ordered.
How long have you been on the 1 1/2 grains? It takes 6-8 weeks fir the t4 to convert to t3 so usually test six weeks after dose increase. 1 grain is equiv to the effect of approx. 75-100 Levo. To be honest I think it's best to increase/decrease by 1/4 grain. Depends how long till your six weeks on 1 1/2... You my be better off reducing by a quarter grain, then testing after six weeks 🙂
ok thank you. That’s great information. I didn’t know it too so long to start converting.
NDT dosing confusion, how to make it work?

Treating with NDT, seem to be going backwards.
