so you are saying you have high reverse t3, you need to check your iron and cortisol...you did not say what your free t3 and free t3 said restartmed.com/high-reverse... is a good read on issues and how to look at it

Think it is well documented now that rT3 does not have much influence ..

I was on t3. For about 10 years before i changed to ndt. I think the difference between the two, is that i feel on a more even keel with ndt. There are no highs and lows, i just feel ok all the time.

T3 made me wide awake and full of energy, or sleepy and having to take a nap.

I much prefer just feeling normal, which is why i stay on ndt. How come you have changed?

5 ,and me lowering my ndt didnt help still felt anxious hyper ill,until my rt3 came down..so im trying ndt t3 combo. Did a saliva test waiting on test results
