Started on 2grains NDT. But that made me feel sick within a day or so , stopped after 3 days. then started again after a week on 1/2 grain and added 1/2 grain every week till I am
now 1 and 3/4 grain .
This time I have got to a fairly good place 🙂I have no thyroid so quite low dose up to some on here .
advice is sadly , to trial and error.we are all so different.
Good luck x
Dropped previous hormones from the start of trial by the way .
I take mine in one go before I go to bed on an empty stomach .
So no evening snacks . Seems to give me a slightly better night
Stop Levo then add in half a grain and hold for 2weeksxrhen add in another half. You can split them if you wish but that's really to ease your body in slowly to the T3. Continent till you get up to 2 grains then continue in quarters. This messed me up a bit as it turned out my sweet spot was1.75 so I missed it! I continued up to 3 feeling good but not asdood as I'd hoped as was given NDT on the NHS when first diagnosed over 30 years ago. I'd also arranged an Endo appointment and bloods showed what he suspected, I was over medicated and he dropped me back to 1.75 which is the right dose for me.
Don't worry about stopping the Levo then building up the NDT. Remember we hold a store of the Levo so we are gradually using it up as the NDT increases.
I switched to NDT Erfa, 4 months ago, just stopped Levi, and started NDT the next day. I take 1 grain in the morning and half a grain at 4pm. I feel amazing it is my wonder drug, and alongside the vitamin d protocol I feel the better than I have done in years.
If also lost a stone and a half, I go to the gym and I have my life back.
