Switching from thiroyd to thyroid s

[NatChap]

Hi everyone! Hope you're all ok! I've not been active on here for a while but I have almost run out of my Thai thiroyd meds 😩and am switching to thyroid-s as I can't get hold of it anymore. Is it a straight swap or is there a difference in strength? I currently take 5 grains of thiroyd and am doing great on it. Also, do you need to crush it or anything with it being coated?

I'm really stressing about switching as I've never felt better than on thiroyd and there is no other affordable/available alternative.

Thanks in advance!

According to stopthethyroidmadness.com/a...

Thyroid-S has approximately 38 mcg T4 and 9 mcg T3

Thiroyd has 35 mcg T4 and 8.31 mcgT3

Thanks 👍 So do you think I should just start on 4.5 grains maybe?

Sorry, but I can't say, I've never swapped NDT brands (don't take it), so work out the equivalent and if you think it's best to start a little lower then go for that.

Hello Nat I was the same really well on thiroyd until I ran out last year I swapped to WP from America but not as good as old one like all NDTs that have been reformulated it was also very expensive.Have been trying Metavive 11 since March it's ok but my weight has crept up by at least 10 pounds so not feeling the best at the moment I am waiting for a thyroid S delivery that is overdue hope you find it suits you perhaps start off really slowly to see how you tolerate it there are good reviews about it but know it has more fillers than thiroyd good luck!

Hi 🙂 Yeah I used to be on nature throid until the reformulation and worried about switching to thiroyd but actually it was really easy. I'm just stressing over this because I know there are no other ndt options if this doesn't agree with me. I think I'll start on slightly less and see how I go. Urghh the thought of my symptoms coming back after being well for so long just doesn't bear thinking about 😕

I'll let you know how it goes though xx

I know exactly what you mean! I was so well for over 15 years on the original Nature thyroid I even forgot I had a thyroid problem as I was back to even better than normal! It's so hard being a thyroid patient now as all our options are being taken away think the big companies are shutting everything down that works at good price we can afford it's all about money it's so frustrating but also so wrong as our lives are being ruined on poor medication. Good luck me know how you get on X x x 🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄

There is a new NDT on the block, there's a very long post running on here regarding Tru Thyroid, and it is made in 1/2 grain tablets, airfreighted and with around a 2 week order / delivery turnaround.

Maybe it's worth checking this one out, as I read it's similar to Thiroyd :

Just keep scrolling through, it was still going last weekend :

Thank you Lora - you're been helping me a lot recently, but can't offer a pay rise .!!!

[pennyannie]

No, not at all, and you're correct, I can't do that, and please don't try and explain, I've a mental block !!!!

[pennyannie]

Several forum members have offered to help me with this and now it's become like a Mount Everest - I not good at following written instructions - dyslexic - and just glaze over - so thank you but I don't need the upset - I need someone to physically show me and then I'll be " with it " - hopefully !!!
