urgently need online thyroxine source

Please can you PM me if you have an online provider of Levothyroxine that will supply without prescription. I only have a few days of

thyroxine left as have increased my dose without GP input, from 25mcg to 50mcg, as I still wasn’t feeling well - and as a result running out.

Been on 50mcg for 3-4 weeks now and feeling much improved (but still not 100%). I wanted to do a follow up test with Medichecks but I’d ordered the one that requires a proper blood draw rather than finger prick test and don’t want to have to visit a GP or hospital right now. Will order another finger prick test burn can’t wait for the results as I will run out before that.

Alternatively can anyone tell me what the metavive to thyroxine equivalent is likely to be - as I’m also taking metavive I twice a day (once with thyroxine first thing and then again at around noon, before lunch) and could just increase that when I run out of thyroxine as a last resort.

I was advised on this recently but didn’t write it down and can’t find that info anywhere - and really don’t want to go back to feeling as dreadful as I did a few months ago.

Thank you

I'm not sure anyone can tell you what the Metavive to Levo equivalent is, as Metavive is a thyroid glandular with no declared hormone content. If anyone can help they will send you a PM. Likewise with a supplier of Levothyroxine.

I will turn off replies to your post so that no-one posts any information on the forum.

It might be an idea to speak to your GP and say that you felt so unwell that you trialled an extra 25mcg daily and that you feel it has helped, so would he please increase the dose on your prescription. He may want tests done but if your results are still within range then there should be no problem. Just remember that last dose of Levo should be 24 hours before test and last dose of Metavive should be 8-12 hours before test.
