[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 129790, member: 18023"] Not exactly. As far as I know, my levels are the same after stopping NDT natural desiccated thyroid as they were before. So they returned to normal for me. FT3 of 2.7 on 10/8. But I only took the NDT for about 3 months. I have read that around 2.8 - 3.2 is ideal for longevity, especially after 60. I didn't seem to have more energy when my FT3 was 4.2 on NDT. I could "feel" the NDT by how my brain sort of felt, kind of a tight buzz feeling. I was only taking 3/4 grain of NDT to get my FT3 to 4.2. Lowering my BG seems to have more of an effect on energy, at least I don't get sleepy after a meal. Maybe if I had been on NDT for 6 months or longer it would have taken longer for my thyroid to kick back into production. If my metabolism increased it wasn't obvious and I didn't measure RMR resting metabolic rate. One big reason to start NDT was the hope it would help to lose weight, it didn't seem to help. I will remeasure thyroid stuff in Feb, I don't really expect a change, but I will have lost at least 28 lbs so maybe it changed. If I get back on NDT at some time in the future I will likely order without a script from Thailand, it's a lot cheaper. [/QUOTE]
