Run out of Levo - can I use metavive?

I placed an online order for levo weeks ago and it still hasn’t arrived. I ran out of levo 2 days ago and as well as a horrendous stomach bug, I think the lack of levo isn’t helping. Would I feel the effects of no dose after only 2 days? I have some metavive 1 which I didn’t particularly like but I’m wondering if it’s possible the fill the gap with this until the arrival of the levo. I’m on 62.5 levo.

Possibly not, Levo has a half life of 7 days so in 7 days from now you'd have half left of the dose you took today.

You can but try, it may or may not help.

If you want to send me a private message with the name of your supplier of Levo I will let you know if I have any feedback on them.
