Did anyone experience temporary hairloss when starting T3 medication? I lost a lot of hair when I was on 50mcg levo and that stopped when I was on 75mcg levo.
Now i added 15mcg T3 and I feel better. My anxiety is also a lot better! But my hair started falling out again. Did anyone experience something similar? I love my hair 😒
As you know from your results, your ft4 has lowered since starting T3. I would look to low ft4 being the cause rather than starting T3.
It may be that you need to increase your levo dose.
I would recommend also looking at zinc and iron status. I suspect T3 and T4 would impact the need for both differently and inadequacy of either/both can affect hair loss. There is no storage form of zinc, like there is for iron (ferritin) so I'd look at zinc status first. If you decide to supplement zinc, be sure to include periodic copper as zinc supplementation can decrease copper (and take zinc 4 hours away from iron supplements.
Hair Loss, should I add t3?
Hair loss and t3
Hair loss due to over medication, when can I expect it to stop?
I have stopped taking T3 due to heavy hair loss
What causes hair loss? Is it low ferritin, the being hypothyroid itself or/and medication?
