[QUOTE="VacationMan, post: 238441, member: 12425"] I had a completely different experience with NDT. Started on NatureThroid...then a shortage occurred. Transitioned to WP Thyroid...then it was recalled. Ended up going with Armour Thyroid. I could never get T4, T3 and TSH in range with NDT drugs. I have high RT3 and very elevated antibodies [Hashimotos], so I need to drive FT3 above range to null the effects of RT3. With NDT drugs, you get what you get and that's what you get as far as dosing of T4/T3 is concerned. In order for me to get FT3 where it needed to be using NDT drugs, I also had to drive FT4 way too high. I feel -way- better on the synthetic T4 / T3 drugs, especially since the doc and I can adjust the dose of each drug individually as needed. For now, my FT4 is in range and my FT3 runs just above the high watermark. TSH sitting at a comfortable < 1.0. No achy joints and I'm finally starting to gradually lose weight now that my metabolism is working again. Took me 4 doctors and 5 years to get to this point. If I had it to do all over again, I'd start with synthetic drugs to get things leveled out (it's a process), then gauge the dose of T4/T3 drugs against the amount of each within NDT doses. Everyone responds differently though. This is just my experience with NDT vs synthetic thyroid drugs. [/QUOTE]
