[QUOTE="mcs, post: 213541, member: 12"] I recently (about 5 weeks ago) adjusted my dose to 1.75gr which is a little over my max based on this [URL='https://thyroidlabanalyzer.com/calculator-4/']dose calculator[/URL] which factors into account body weight. If you look at my [URL='https://app.box.com/file/822535801925?s=3jlf4hf6n2ht1cek36msmkot6xo9ttn1']spreadsheet[/URL], you can see I've already tried doses > 1.50: [B]- @ 3 grains (in early 2014), TSH was in the mid 2's and FT3 was in the high 2's-low 3's. - @ 2.5 grains (late 2019-early 2020), I still could not suppress TSH much below 3.50. My FT3 levels were just < 3.0. [/B] So, not much difference. That's why I'm looking at other factors. Perhaps experimenting with adding in more T4 instead of more NDT since the most suppressed I ever was is when I was on T4 only. Some of my SNPs would suggest I have a conversion defect, but if I suppressed on T4 monotherapy, that would suggest I don't. Some docs believe that TSH is irrelevant if T3 is optimized. I'm not so sure about that. [/QUOTE]
