[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 148871, member: 15043"] I would assume it would start shutting down your natural production, but I could be wrong. On 2.5 grains of NDT only, my TSH went from 0.73, to 0.01 (0.4-4.5). Basically completely suppressed, and I assume all the T4 and T3 in my system was purely from the NDT. So ya maybe the low dose can suppress your thyroid levels, and the exogenous T3 is just not enough to keep things optimal on its own right now for you. The way they do it, is they increase T3 by 5mcg every week, until their morning temps are close to 98.6, or their symptoms resolve before then. They obv get labs when they can, and adjust things based off the labs as well. But in between labs, it’s mostly checking morning temps, and assessing their symptoms. Have you been checking your temp? On nothing, mine was around 96.2, which is horrible. Right now on 10mcg of T3 only, my morning temp was around 97.1, as of this morning. So obviously not optimal, but going in the right direction. I have 3 more days on 10mcg, and then will be adding in 5mcg, and taking 5mcg 3x/ day for a week. [/QUOTE]
