Hi all. I’ve just been put on efra thyroid. I was on 150mg of levo that was making me feel awful. My endo has started me on a small dose and will raise it slowly upto 2 grains. How long did it take for any of you guys who are taking NDT to feel them working ?

Within 3 days. Made a huge difference to me.
How small is small? Half a grain? Or a grain? To be honest, if you’ve already been taking Levo you probably need to start on a grain.
6 months, I was about to give up on Thiroyd because I didn't feel better in comparison to being on 125mg Levo, but I persevered and I feel a lot better now, still got a way to go but more promising than levo.
6 months, really? I have read that people seem to begin to feel better after as short as 3-4 days. Hope these work for me
it really depends on the person as each person deals with their illness very differently. With NDT you have to make sure you're not deficient in other nutrients and your adrenals are good otherwise you won't respond to NDT as well.
I took about 3 weeks to see Thiroid was going to be better . Still seeing improvement 8 weeks on . So maybe it will continue 🙂
Good luck x
Pretty much straight away.
