Hello lovely all. In need of a bit of feed back pls. I've been on t3 mono for 7 years my t3 has been stopped. I was on mercury pharma t3 (50mg) but now trying tiromel but I'm really struggling at the mo. I've started at 46. Something as near as i can gauge as i didn't want to try and go in with the same dose with a different brand my body isn't familiar with. Heart and bp are all over the place. Thoughts echoing in my head as,well as outside, borderline anxious, bloated( tbh I was feeling bloated before trying these but worse today) water retention (ditto) emotional, exhausted. So the plan is to stay on these at this dose for next couple of days and then make a decision to either raise or drop. Any feedback on this brand or swapping t3 brands gratefully received. Thank you all xx

If your T3 was initially prescribed by an NHS endocrinologist then your T3 prescription should not have been stopped

This is directly against guidelines

You MUST be referred to NHS endocrinologist for evaluation before NHS withdraw prescription
