Lowered 1/2 grain of Thiroyd, feel better.

I was on 2 grains of Thiroyd from Thai but had heart racing, palpitations, more anxious. I cut the pill in half and feel much better. Soon I'll get my TSH, just out of curiosity.

Cheers!

I think that's the right way to go, i.e. adjustments down or up (slowly). I am not medically qualified but I'd adjust by 1/4s (up/down) at a time rather than half.

Yes, we'll see... Maybe I end up raising by 1/4 but I needed a radical change. I came from nature-throid 1 grain to 1 grain of Thiroyd , a month later to 2 grains, now down. Perfect weight for now.

When I was on nature thyroid I could not handle two grains. I had chest pain. But I did not have enough energy so I ended up adding some T4 and that helped. I believe one and a half grains of nature thyroid has less than 100 mg of T4 it and most people need that to feel good. I am not a doctor this is just according to my experience and what I’ve read from tired thyroid.com
