Hi everyone Has anyone experienced a possible bad batch of Tiromel T3 recently.
I feel my current batch I received recently are not suiting me.
Just feel fatigue and palpitations again.
When I tried my old batch again, I had a few left over, I felt well again.
Any advice?
I self source T3 from a recommendation on this site and have never had a problem before now.
Thanks in advance
Sorry, I can't help you directly but I thought it would be useful to forum members if you posted the batch number and expiry date of the Tiromel that worked for you and the Tiromel that didn't, making clear which was which. 
What I would do if I was in your situation :
1) If the T3 you aren't getting on well with makes you feel under-medicated then cut a tablet into 4 with a scalpel and add a quarter tablet to your daily dose to see if it improves how you feel.
2) If the T3 you aren't getting on well with makes you feel over-medicated then cut your daily dose into 4 with a scalpel and subtract a quarter tablet from your daily dose to see if it improves how you feel.
3) If you try both the above and don't get any benefit from either then it could be that the Tiromel is fake or it has been stored badly before you even received it. I doubt the Tiromel is fake - it costs very little in its country of manufacture (Turkey) and the effort and expense involved in making convincing looking fakes would mean there was little or no profit in it.
4) Thyroid hormones, along with many other medicines, have temperature requirements that mean they should be stored at a temperature no higher than 25 degrees C. The capital of Turkey is Ankara. The average daily maximum temperature in Ankara is 31 degrees C, but the record high is over 40 degrees C. The chance that your T3 has been exposed to excessive temperatures after manufacture and/or during sale or transport to you is probably quite high, although I should make it clear I'm only guessing.

I don't feel either under or over medicated.
I've recently switched to T3 only and doing much, much better.
I would say they feel like a bad batch if that's possible.
I've used the same reliable source as always.
Worth contacting your source and requesting replacement with a different batch number, as HB says heat is also an issue
I've been on Tiromel only for years so after a few symptoms started up again, I came looking to see if anyone had any issues. I've had palps, fatigue as well as anxiety & foggy brain and it looks like we have the same batch. It's a month since you posted but have things settled down for you yet?
HiThat's interesting, I thought it was just me.
I still think this is a bad batch.
I managed to find a strip out of the pack that seemed to suit better, I felt OK.
When starting a new strip, I felt awful again, fatigue, not functioning well, palpitations, feeling very out of sorts.
I realised it could be this particular strip, so trial and error, I've started a different strip, which seems more agreeable.
I've ordered T3 again from the same supplier, waiting for them to arrive.
I am currently only taking 25mcg daily as still early days for me on T3 only.
I'm hoping I get a different batch this time.
Really don't know what's wrong with them but some feel very bad.
Do you use a regular supplier???

Did you buy these from a known reputable supplier? Don't mention supplier on forum, but feel free to check with an admin if you're concerned that you may have been sent fake pills.
Hopefully as you say just the odd strip. I've been using the same supplier for a long time now with no issues at all and normally order six months worth at a time. I'll hold off ordering more for a month or so to make sure I a different batch number.
I've just ordered 100 from the same supplier and they're a different batch and I feel they are better.
Liothyronine T3 OK batch numbers please!
