Anyone taking NDT with Levo or just NDT without Levo as combo Levo NDT didn't suit?

5 Replies

I'm adding more Levo (6.25 to my 12.5) to a lowered Armour (from 2.6 to 2.5 grains) currently and looking to learn from people's experiences.

I am very sensitive to dose changes, have Hashis and central hypo of some sort (low tsh with low ft4 ft3).

Thank you,

Swampy

I’m sorry you haven’t had any replies, frustrating isn’t it. I tried taking both a couple of years ago but I think I was having side effects from the excipients in the NDT. I think it did work but you will have to experiment and see. Just keep an eye on your symptoms and heart rate/temperature etc. Good luck, trial and error is the name of the game.

Thank you Gingernut44, I saw a thyroid advocate talking about using 3 grains of Armour and 25 mcg of Levo, so I wanted to check with people on here, so thanks so much. May I ask what are you taking at the moment and what kind of side effects did you have? Sorry to hear you had issues too.

Hello, I used to take levo, after 30 years and many side effect learnt about NDT, slowly added more NDT and lower levo for about 2 years until I stopped levo, now feeling great and almost all side effect disappeared , this is my experience but I do not advice you to do the same unless you have side effect or a reason , everybody's different hope my experience might be helpful
