[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 150389, member: 15043"] I have this exact issue. RT3 was 11. Went on NDT only, went up to 22. Felt worse than before starting thyroid medication. Tried lowering NDT to 1 grain, and adding in T3, but just didn’t feel right still. Im gonna just try T3 only to get my RT3 down into the single digits, and then see if I can add in maybe a half grain of NDT, without raising my RT3. If half a grain doesn’t increase RT3 much, will try 1 grain, and that should be plenty of T4, if I can tolerate it. If I can’t tolerate any NDT at all, it’s not the end of the world. There seems to be a ton of people in the FB group on T3 only. Apparently it’s ideal to have a good level of T4, but not necessary to feel good. It helps to have the reserve, so if you miss doses you don’t feel it as much, but as long as you are a person that can remember/ have the ability to dose T3 2-3 times per day, you should be fine. Not sure if there’s technically any benefit to having good T4 levels other than just having a reserve to pull from at all times. [/QUOTE]
