Re: Synthroid question / not ideal

[Guest guest]

Yes, it can be done, but if it was me, I've felt too crappy for too long to

waste a single day on Synthroid, even if I could limp along on it (plus cynomel)

OK for a while. If I wanted to change my T3/T4 proportions I'd decrease cynomel

and increase ERFA.

" BOTTOM LINE: yes, you can use the synthe­tic T3 and synthe­tic T4, get some

bene­fit, even if less effec­tive. "

This was written in response to folks who wish to avoid NT because they are

avoiding animal products, but it seems relevant to your situation.

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?
