[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 148322, member: 15043"] Ya I honestly would. I would start tracking your morning temps though. Stay at 1.5 grains for your NDT. Don’t go any higher with that. Now add in 5mcg of T3. And increase by 5mcg every 7 days, until your morning temps get close to 98.6, and or your symptoms are resolved. If none of your symptoms improve, I would stop once you get to 20mcg of T3, and get labs done. Usually everyone needs to add in some straight T3 to get their thyroid optimal. It’s pretty much impossible to do so by taking synthetic T4 only, and it’s pretty rare to do so on NDT only. Straight T3 is almost always part of the picture to get your thyroid completely optimal. So I would definitely start throwing some in. 5mcg is a great starting dose. That’s what I’m using atm, and I even split the tab and take 2.5mcg twice per day. You might even want to lower NDT down to 1 grain. Then when you get labs done, if your free T4 isn a little too low, you can just raise NDT slightly. Always better to start low with timings and titrate up. On 2.5 grains of NDT, my free T3 was 7.3, and RT3 22. So right now I’m on T3 only to let RT3 get back down. But will add back in 1 grain of NDT in a couple weeks. [/QUOTE]
