[QUOTE="mcs, post: 230566, member: 12"] How is it possible that I can take a higher dose of NDT and do my labs at the same time as prior and come out with lower TSH and T3? [B]Prior labs (NDT dose @ 2.00 grains - 130mg):[/B] TSH: 2.03 FT3: 3.70 FT4:1.40 [B]Current labs: (NDT dose @ 2.25 grains - 146.25mg):[/B] TSH: 3.29 FT3: 3.5 FT4: 1.5 No change in diet or supps. What did I do different? I started on Metformin about a month back. Metformin is actually supposed to REDUCE TSH as shown [URL='https://joe.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/joe/233/1/R43.xml']here[/URL]. If more T3 is supposed to suppress TSH, then this makes no sense. This is the dilemma I have been plagued with for the last 10+ years. It seems that no matter how much I increase, I can't seem to suppress TSH enough as I have posted on before [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/dessicated-thyroid-continues-having-zero-effect-on-tsh-elevated-ft3-normal-ft4.24360/page-2#post-221834']here[/URL]. So, I upped my NDT dose by another .25 grain (16.25mg) to 2.5 grains (162.5mg) to see if that will suppress TSH as Dr. Childs recommends [URL='http://2.5 grains (162.5mg).']here[/URL]. What else can I do? [/QUOTE]
