Guest guest Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 $inthroid has no T3 in it to make you have this reaction. $inthroid is only T4. It is correct though that not enuff thyroid replacement is just as bad as too much. SandyE~Houston Synthroid question Ok...here goes. I started on 25mcgs of S around the 9th of Nov. THe doc wants me to go slowly as do I because I could not tolerate Armour. So I have been tolerating the S ok until last evening when I start mildly hyperventilating and feeling anxious. I still feel that way today so far. My heart is slightly pounding (can take my pulse just be listening and not touching my wrist). So...does this mean that the T3 is now kicking in and that is why I am feeling this way, or is it time for me to up my med? I have read that you can make a mistake by going up to slow until you reach your opt dose as your thyroid cuts back its own production. That may or not be true or I may have interpreted it wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Synthroid causes many bad side effects, including hair loss! You don't need T4 at all. Are you on T3 for RT3 issues? If so you really don't need or want T4! I wouldn't add in synthroid kitty To: RT3_T3 Sent: Tue, May 11, 2010 10:47:40 AMSubject: Synthroid question Is there a problem with Synthroid other than the fact that it's T4 only? If my doctor decides that, based on my labs, I'm ready to add T4, would Synthroid be appropriate? I know lots of people take Erfa, Naturethroid, etc. But I have a 90 day supply of T3 on hand, shipped recently by mailorder insurance pharmacy. Would taking Synthroid plus my supply of T3 give good results? Or is Synthroid just bad, period? Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it, depends how your body reacts. The bad press Synthroid gets is because a LOT of people don't do well on T4 only meds, they need T3 in the mix A lot of years ago when I couldn't get Natural I was on Cynoplus which is a synthetic T4/T3 combination and rated that as " not quite as good as natural " in terms of how I felt on it. Since I went T3 only for me that's better than natural. It's personal, I get no benefit from T4, you may do, try it and see.
