I used to take my whole 1 and half grains in the morning before eating with a glass of water. Someone I used to chat to was on bigger dose and would take 2 grains (2 tablets) in the morning and one grain a night before going to bed. I think she waited a few hours after eating. I hope this helps.
Thanks yes it does help thank you.i would have to slightly increase then...ugh.lol i didnt know thyroid-s would be strong cant take sublingually 😒you worked your way up to taking that dose?
It is all trial and error with NDT if you feel jittery you can always reduce your dose by 1/2 a grain at the next dose. Do you have a pill cutter?
Not what you're looking for?
