does anyone know if migraleve is contra-indicated with T3?

I know I'm OK with T4 but: paracetamol, codeine phosphate & buclizine hydrochloride, anyone?

You are just replacing your own natural thyroid hormones with T3 so there shouldn't be any medication contraindication. The only proviso on that is for meds that affect absorption such as PPI's.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've had awful migraines in the past and they are debilitating.

It's actually 1 hour for Levo and T3 is apparently not so fussy at all.

I hope you are feeling better soon.
