Switching from Mercury T3 to Morningside T3

[paulaelizabeth]

Hi There,

Can I ask anyone that currently takes Morningside T3 for some advice please...

I have just been given my first batch of Morningside and remember one of you saying that you found Morningside to be stronger than Mercury T3.

I still have some Mercury T3 left and was going to try at first using both.

I currently take 30mcgs Mercury Liothyronine and 25mcg Levo.

How would you suggest splitting the dosage of Morningside/Mercury?

I have just found out that I have a heart condition and am seeing a cardiologist in 2 weeks. But in the meantime they have put me on beta blockers and Ramipril And Inspra so I am very nervous about changing T3...

Any advice given would be much appreciated.

Thank you...

Which beta blocker? Is it propranolol?

Yes I started on Mercury Pharma. Then after 4 months got Morningside Healthcare. I prefer it, but possibly seem to find it slightly stronger or more effective. I did just swop straight over, but I have always taken in divided doses

I have recently cut dose of Morningside down by 5mcg from 20mcg to 15mcg. I was feeling slightly over treated, but it may be coincidence or because I recently put Levothyroxine back up 25mcg

Hi there thanks for your reply.

They have put me on Bisoprolol.

(Three out of four heart chambers not working properly and found that I have a hole in my heart!)

Seeing Endo next week, he will probably blame heart condition on T3!!

P!
