Tamina, you said you take Novo, which is 75 Levo and 15 t3. Now you're saying you take 75 and 10 t3. Doesn't make sense. Have you changed your dose again?

You said in your other thread that Levo is making you ill and wanted to know how to start taking T3. It's rather confusing, so are you taking a combination of Levo and T3 or just T3?

At present I'm taking levo and t3 but it's making me I'll, that's why I want to start t3 only

OK, but your original question doesn't ask how much is the equivalent in T3, you just asked for the "total" which could mean the T4 equivalent of what you're currently taking.

So can you clarify exactly what you're taking. Hidden mentions that you said you were taking Novo, you say you're taking Levo plus T3.

So let's see exactly what your latest test results are - TSH, FT4 and FT3 - including their reference ranges and we'll see if we can help. Can't do anything without those.

It's always best to reduce Levo and add in T3 gradually.
