Re: Ultimate Thyroid Dose kc in AZ

[Guest guest]

If you're asking because you want to know what quantity to tell the

doc to write the prescription for, here's what I did. I found out my

insurance will only allow 6 pills per day of any prescription. So I

asked for 6 per day of the 15 mg. After about a month and half, he

is already up to that dose. So then I ask for 6 per day of the 30

mg. It's actually nice to have both pill sizes while you ramp up so

you don't have to do so much cutting.

No one can guess what your final dose would be, but historically,

most people have taken between 2-4 grains. If you get close to 4

grains and still aren't seeing improvement, don't continue blindly

raising. Get your reverse T3 and cortisol tested again!

BTW, some pharmacies are out of stock of the 15 mg size till first

week of February, but I'd still put your order in. Cutting pills is

a pain!
