Levo + ndt

I was on 125 mcg levo +some T3 (5mcg in the morning) but I'm not feeling well. Any dose higher than 100mcg levo(syntetic) it gives me anxiety, sight problems, etc. Also only on ndt I don't feel good. So, I'm thinking of reducing the dose of levo to 112mcg and the 12,5 replace't with ndt. I wonder how much ndt should i add instead of levo. Gradually I would like to reach 100levo +ndt but I don't know-how. In my opinion, I could exchange 12,5levo+5mcg-T3 for 1/2 gr.ndt???

1 grain NDT is generally 38mcg T4 and 9mcg T3.

Do you have labs from when you were on T3 + T4 and NDT? That´s the easiest way to determine what did not work for you.

Some people do need to combine NDT + T4, but it´s not possible to say in advance how much you´d need of each. It´s all about trial and error, I´m afraid.

Thank you, as I wrote above, any dose higher than 100mcg levo(synthetic) gives me problems, that's why I thought to replace the difference with ndt until 125mcg levo and 5T3. on ndt my ft4 was below the limit and ft3 in the middle. On synthetic my ft4 is in the middle of the limit and ft3 is below the middle of the limit that I know.
