[QUOTE="Totto, post: 524015, member: 91524"] T3 only might be very good idea indeed, particularly if you are poor converter. I never was on it myself, but I have heard several success stories. Most people feel better with T3 added or on T3 only compared to Levo only. If you can get FT3 tested along with FT4 and TSH you will see if FT3 is low compared to FT4 and that would indicate poor conversion. When on Levo you want FT4 in the upper part of the reference range or even above and FT3 mid range or higher but not above range. A good pill cutter may be needed as T3 tablets usually are 20 mg and you want to start slowly and multi dose. NDT contains all the thyroid hormones so I multi-dose. For the moment only twice a day and it seems to work fine, 2 grains in the morning and 1.5 in the afternoon. Remember that when on an adequate dose of T3 your TSH will be suppressed. Good luck!
