Does anyone else get tired after taking cytomel? I take 10mcg along with 100 Levo first thing in the am..then I fall back asleep. Then 3or4 hours later i take another 10 and 90mins later I feel like a zombie. Maybe I need to go back to the NDT. Any thoughts? Thank you

I have been on the 100mcg of T4 and 15mcg of T3 for 4 weeks now. and honestly i have been all over the map with the testo.. the best i felt was at one time i was taking 20mg weekly. that was a few years ago. as far as confidence in my dr? she is open minded and we try different...

I hope this makes sense. I was taking Nature throid for quite a while and never could get Ft4 levels past 1. so i tried adding some levo to the ndt then i went straight over to synthetics, 100 levo + t3. oddly my labs seem to be the same, (ft4 1. on fasted at 1.22 7 hrs after meds)...

I have been experimenting with NDT for a couple years and slowly increasing.. i never get good Ft4 levels though, they are always very low- the FT3 seem to be ok..some dr's feel this is good, i dont really know what to believe- according to some places that means i am "pooling" alhtough when i...

anything on Axiron? my endo suspects the enthanol in axiron enables better absorption?

just wondering how labs came out since the niacin? any luck?

does carnitine effect the absorption of thyroid meds? i believe i have read that carnitine can be used to help with "hyper" thyroid issues so to that regard i am thinking it may not be a good thing to take with thyroid meds? any one know for sure? thanks!

thanks Chris last DHEA was 155 .. i take hydrocortisone so i can't do a cortisol profile that i know of. and actually i have been pretty tired and still feel kinda hypo- according to STTM i am "pooling" that is why my FT4 is so low. i am working to get down to a lower dose of sleep...
