[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2334795, member: 345386"] Just as a matter of note; my Endo suggested reducing my T4 from 150mcgr to 100 mcgr, when starting on 20mcgr T3, twice daily. On my personal logic, I reduced the T4 immediately, accepting it would take a few weeks for the then considered excess 50mcgr to be right out of my system, whilst starting on a reduced dose. My logic was reducing the T4 and immediately adding the full dose of T3 would be quite a wallop to my body. Of course, I may simply have not had the full benefit of the new regime as quickly as I might have done, but that was my choice. Whilst I share your caution about buying overseas medication, some countries where T3 is an over the counter medication would, I think, not come immediately to your mind, is asked to name a "dodgy" source, and whilst the numbers of countries is reducing, some are in the EU. If you have historic or current osteomylacia, are you monitored by bloods and periodic DEXA scans? You might find this page quite informative along the way.
