[QUOTE="mcs, post: 251845, member: 12"] I have had over 10 years of experimenting with every form of thyroid replacement (sustained-release T3, T4 monotherapy, T3 monotherapy, commercial NDT, custom-compounded NDT, T3 + NDT, T4 + NDT) and I have found the most effective to be custom-compounded NDT which I have made with ascorbic acid as the only filler. I can get the batch assay to see exactly the ranges of both T3 and T4. Approximately 10-15% of the population does not convert T4 to T3 due to deiodinase mutations, so T4 is actually detrimental and will raise rT3 and cause worse symptoms. You don't need to worry about hyperthyroidism unless your TSH is <0.5. I check my pulse and pressure daily. I do a full set of thyroid function labs every 60 days to track progress. I take 162.5mg (2.50 grains) once daily first thing in the early a.m. fasting with water only (very important not to take with any other supplements, meds or food - except ascorbic acid which helps absorb T3). That gives me approx. 95mcg T4 and 27mcg T3 (I would start at a much lower dose and titrate until your TSH is suppressed within iptimal range as indicated upthread). I could still use a little more suppression of TSH but I don't want to get too much more T3. Here are my averages for this year at that dosing: TSH: 1.5 FT3: 4.5 FT4: 1.3 rT3: 11 TPO/TgAb: 0 [/QUOTE]
