Increased my NDT by 25mcg, feel so shakey and weird! Will I be ok?

Hello! I increased my NDT from 100mcg to 125mcg, because my supplier only had this in stock, and feel so so off. I've only been doing it for 2 weeks so will cut right back, but can anyone reassure me that I will be alright? Feel so anxious, jittery, shaky and have diarrhoea.

What kind of ndt are you using, 125 dose I never heard. Maybe it would help if you add a little levo.

I take Thyreogland, it is an NDT - 100mcg t4 and 25mcg t3

You'll be fine, it's normal to get jittery, shaky or have palpitations if raising NDT too much, too fast or conversely too slowly or being on too low a dose. It will go away if you cut back.

But as its a 125mcg and Theyreogland is powered form (?) I'm not sure how to cut back whilst still ensuring you get the equivalent of 100 mcg you need.

Not what you're looking for?
