hi all, I’ve come away for the weekend and forgotten my levothyroxine (100mcg) I’ve remembered my liothyronine which I take 15mcg daily.
Should I increase my liothyronine until I’m home on Tuesday? If so, by 5mcg, more might be a shock to the system?
Should I just forget about the levo and take it as usual when I get back?
Can’t believe I did this, spent agree filling pill box and forgot levo…how?! Hopeless 😞
Thanks for any advice!

Relax and enjoy... you numpty 😉
Thanks TiggerMe that’s what I’ll do and try and be less numptyish next time 😂
We can but try 😁 it would have been much worse if you'd forgotten the T3! 😬
would it ? I’m interested to know why T3 is so much more important- I have run out of T3 whilst travelling and don’t take it for at least a week and felt dreadful - but why is this ?
T3 is the active hormone so is much faster acting than T4 which is more of a storage hormone and needs converting before it is of much use but if you don't convert T3 is essential... so you will notice the lack of T3 within 12 -24 hours, probably could manage a week or two without T4 before feeling utterly dreadful, T4 has a much longer half life than T3
Many people actually feel better for a couple of weeks after stopping T4 but then crash bigtime 🙃
If you want, you can always phone NHS 111 to get an emergency prescription – usually about a week’s worth.
They’ll send an electronic Rx to the pharmacy for you to collect
thanks everyone helvella SlowDragon joiaz Enjoy the rest of the bank holiday!
I forgot mine once when I visited my brother. My husband posted it to me and I received it the next day. Can anyone send yours to you?
Please can you advise me on my calculations to switch NDT to Levo

Low T4…., after 6 weeks of T3 only…& wondering if some cannot tolerate without a bit of T4/Levo? Or… if feel ok… then T4 results may be low
