Is anyone having success with Teva T3?

[Joesmum]

I’m on the new Morningside and all my aches and pains are returning. I got on well with Mercury Pharma T3 but my pharmacist doesn’t get it anymore.

I have a pot of Teva T3 and might try that. Any success stories?

I’ve read several times that people are having trouble with Teva T3, switch back to MP if you can although one of our ladies was told she had to pay the difference of£5.89

MP gaberpentin in sub standard as a cheaper product. Seems to work that way GP’s start you off on the expensive product that works then switch you to a cheaper brand...

I guess some people don’t notice, saving them money.

It's wrong that you should be charged extra! It's probably the fillers your body doesn't like. Though if you have stopped taking them it's difficult to tell for sure but if you look on the PIL (patient information leaflet) for both-I think you can search for the TEVA one online if you haven't got one now and they are different then I would argue that you can't take it because of the fillers and therefore you shouldn't have to pay because of that. I have read that there are others taking T3 successfully.

Edit

Just realised that it's not you being told to pay more but you can still argue it's the fillers if you don't get one what suits you. I'd you have TEVA then it may well work for you though I can understand you being nervous. You could do a search on TEVA T3 and see what others say though they are more likely to be negative than positive and my reading a positive may not have been on here but I'm sure others will comment.

I am also having problems with Morningside.I was switched to it from Mercury Pharma by my pharmacist and am now on my second batch. My problem has always been muscular and from reading other posts I feel that it is due to being under medicated.I was left on 50mcgs of levo for 10 years before being raised to 75 and then 100 and also sent to see an Endo.He added in T3 but have only ever been given 10mcgs.I wouldn't want to try Teva T3 as I gave up taking Teva T4 after a short spell years ago and switched to Actavis. However,Teva T3 might be OK for you,if you're willing to try it.

My recent blood tests were all in range except for high Cholesterol 6.5 which we know is a symptom of hypothyroid and VIT D was borderline so have just started adding K2 to that......but early days yet.My GP wanted to give me statins but I refused them!

This weekend I decided to leave off my T3 for a 3 day trial to see how I felt and am feeling better.I just took 100mcgs levo.I will go back to my GP for a chat. I think it's a continuous juggling act for all of us ,so I wish you well in getting sorted and will be interested in reading other members replies to you.x
