Buying T3 without a prescription

Hello all,

I am looking to buy T3 online without a prescription, as I have had no luck in convincing my doctor to trial it, despite feeling constantly tired and hypo.

Could anyone sourcing their T3 this way, please send me a private message with information about reliable sources?

Many thanks!

Welcome to the forum

There’s nothing on your profile

How long have you been on levothyroxine

How much levothyroxine are you currently taking

Do you always get same brand levothyroxine at each prescription

Have you had vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested

Do you have autoimmune thyroid disease also called Hashimoto’s

Before considering adding T3 we need all four vitamins optimal, and levothyroxine dose fine tuned

If you have Hashimoto’s you need coeliac blood test done before trialing strictly gluten free diet

Please add more information

Hi,

I was on levothyroxine from 2017 to 2020, after being diagnosed with Hashimoto by Endo in Argentina with raised antibodies and high TSH. She started me on generic levothyroxine tablets. By 2020 I was on 125 mcg of TCAPS prescribed by GP in France. As I still felt unwell and with FT3 in the low normal range, despite suppressed TSH and high FT4, I tried to convince GP to add T3 or switch to NDT, but he refused to consider it and only wanted to lower the medication dosage. I then made the switch to NDT myself (Thyroid-S) in early 2021 and overall feel better with it, with less brain fog and complete exhaustion, but still very physically tired all the time. Hence reasoning, adding further T3 might be beneficial. I am currently taking 4 Thyroid-S pills everyday, which seems to me excessive, as most people seem happy between 2 and 3.

I have been gluten free since 2019 and have had vit. D, folate, ferritin and B12 checked, with result in the low range for vit. D and B12. I have been supplementing with Biocare vitamins since these tests, to raise vit D and B12, as well as as their multivitamins.

Thanks.

Oh I should add I checked my genes (downloaded raw file) and I'm heterozygotic for rs2235544, rs11206244 and rs225014, so I know it's highly likely I need more T3.
