Dosing question

[Heatherv627]

So I found some nature throid to hopefully get me through recall. If you remember from my previous post I had been on NT for 2 years at 1.5 grains and my endo switched me to Synthroid 100mg. I took for 7 days and felt so absolutely awful and then tried Tirosint 50mg for 5 days and absolutely no better. I have given my body a break for the last 6 days to get rid of some of the Synthroid and Tirosint so as of today I am 18 days off of Naturethroid. My question is...is it safe to jump right back to 1.5 grains or do I need to titrate lower again. Thank you.

I think it would be o.k. for you to take your previous dose of Naturethroid. If you did feel a bit overstimulated, it is easy to reduce your dose from following day. I will also state I'm not medically qualified but that's what I would have done for myself.

Thank you! I think I am just so traumatized from trying the Synthroid and still don’t totally feel like my old self....which is why I was curious.
