Treating both AFib and Thyroiditis
The endocrinologist was hesitant to put me on
Synthroid
for fear of it aggravating my Afib. We are however trying me on a very low dose 12.5 mcg daily. Has anyone here experienced being treated for these conditions concurrently? If so, how is it working out for you?

T3 insomnia
I have been taking my T3 and
Synthroid
at 2 am since my stomach is empty and so I can eat breakfast, take my supplements and have a cappuccino at 8 am. I had insomnia prior to starting T3. I see that T3 lasts 8 hours. I never feel sluggish during the day.

Central hypothyroidism and out of control Help me please!
Another thing is that doc is changing script from levo to name brand
Synthroid
. Will this help? Doc felt it might. I’m up for anything. Supposedly it’s better for hypo that’s pituitary based. Here’s my recent results. No longer test T3 as it is always extremely low, told I just don’t make it now.

Please help with labs
I was on 5 mcg of T3 and 75 mcg of
Synthroid
Mon-Friday and 88 mcg On Sat and Sunday.. In late May the nurse told me to continue with T3 but increase my
Synthroid
which I questioned but did increase an extra 150 mcg a week. ( total 700 mcg week).

TBG, Reverse T3 & SHBG Issues - What Does This Mean?
Being desperate, I have taken some of my mother's
Synthroid
and a friends DT. So on 12.5 mg of
Synthroid
and about the same of the DT - I get revved up - sweating, shaking, diarreah etc. These meds do not seem to help - yes I know these were tiny, tiny does, but I felt worse.

New Lab Results Including Low Iron
Though the numbers would suggest the former is the better route, I am wondering what the effect of my low iron is on my thyroid hormone levels, the efficacy of my
Synthroid
and Liothyronine, and conversion. If I try 125mcg T4 with 5mcg T3, would increased iron help covert more T4 to T3?

Confused about levo and synthroid
My doctor change me from Levothyroxin to brand name
synthroid
about a month ago. I was taking levo 112 mcg and he change it to
synthroid
brand name 112mcg he says some ppl don’t tolerate the levo being a synthetic and some do better on brand name. Any light on this?

Synthroid Brand versus Generic
For years I had taken
Synthroid
brand . Three months ago I switched to a generic version due to the rising cost of the
Synthroid
Brand (Also added generic T3). I am feeling as if the generic version is not as effective as
Synthroid
brand. Does anyone share similar experience?

new labs and Synthroid dose
I have been on
Synthroid
since January. Most of my symptoms are gone, except for the anxiety. It's a constant restless, nervous energy feeling, especially in the morning. Last week, my dr. raised my
Synthroid
dose because my TSH is still really high.

adjustment to Synthroid increase
I have recently increased my
Synthroid
dose from 75 to alternating 75/100 doses (I'm only 4 days in the increase). When you increase
Synthroid
, is there an adjustment period for your body to get used to it? My anxiety had calmed down a little on just the 75, but now it is back full force.

Insomnia on CellCept? Sleeping pills that helped?HELP
I am also revved up during the day and have anxiety(it is not psychological or shall I say my baseline anxiety increased 4-5x since taking cellcept) I also take plaquenil,
synthroid
and enalapril(for the nephritis). I started doxepin 10mg HS with my PCP but it really isn't helping.
