Seriously had enough of Levo-Thyroxine. Ever since I’ve been on it I’ve put on weight especially belly weight which I never had before taking the tablets. That’s not even the real issue. All my thyroid symptoms were 10 times worse such as fatigue Caught the endocrinologist lying to me and she refused to help me in any shape or form. I am seriously contemplating purchasing T3 myself since I read on some posts that people buy it from UniPharma T3 (Greece). Does anyone have experience with buying it themselves from abroad or anywhere thats not extortionate to be honest. Would be really greatful for any help!

Unipharma is now virtually impossible to get hold of. Even people who live in Greece generally have to show their prescription now and are limited to 1 or 2 boxes each time. There may be the odd pharmacy that will let a tourist have one box, but generally it's not possible any longer to get Unipharma OTC.
The popular online Greek supplier has been taking orders and payment and not fulfilling them for over a year.
So you're very unlikely to get Unipharma T3.
However, as you're a new member and there is no information in your profile, if you post your latest results member will try to help. To know if you would benefit from adding T3 you would need the following tests done all at the same time:
TSH
FT4
FT3
Often there are other problems which haven't been spotted, which come to light when we see full thyroid and vitamin/mineral results.
If you can post the following results, with reference ranges, members will help:
TSH
FT4
FT3
Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies
Thyroglobulin antibodies
Vit D
B12
Folate
Ferritin
If you haven't had them tested, and can't get them done with your GP, you can do a private home fingerprick test (or venous blood draw) which covers everything.

Thank you for all your help! My GP refused to do a more detailed test so I will have to get it done privately like you suggested. Thank you for the help! I read somewhere that UniPharma has been having issues hence why I‘ve come here. Good to know because I almost went ahead with the purchase but then left it after all 😅
