Kgoody, It isn't legal for anyone in the UK to sell you, as a UK citizen a prescription medication without a prescription.

If you want to purchase T3 without a prescription, you will have to source it from outside the UK.

You can't buy in the UK without a prescription. Members who source without prescription obtain it from overseas suppliers (and we can't mention supplier details on the open forum).

Your previous post from 5 years ago shows that you were taking a combination of Levo and T3, so are you still self sourcing or did you stop taking T3?

You need to get full thyroid and vitamin testing at least annually

If vitamins are low nether levothyroxine or T3 will work

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

When were vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 levels tested

all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally just before 9am and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)

Day before test, split T3 into two or three smaller doses spread through the day with last dose 8-12 hours before test

Private tests are available as NHS currently rarely tests Ft3 or all relevant vitamins
