Switching to Naturethroid after 1.5 years on Cytomel

[Guest guest]

Hi- I've been a regular at NTHA and am now working at switching to Naturethroid

from Cytomel.

I just recently began the switch, substituting 1 grain NT for 12.5mg Cytomel.

I am having hypo symptoms - constipation and migraine. Those are completely

related for me (constipation leads to migraine). I had migraines for YEARS,

while undermedicated on both T4 and Armour. Cytomel had ended that for me, but

sadly its back

Any thoughts about why I'm getting hypo despite almost equal T3 in NT? Is it

because it is *almost* and not enough?

Maybe I need more NT?

I'm wondering if I should just add 1 more grain NT to give me a good start and

then drop extra Cytomel later on?

I've been taking Cytomel 37.5-37.5-37.5 prior to starting the switch.

Now: Cytomel 37.5-25-37.5 and NT 1 grain

(I am fully committed to making the switch, as I've had some negatives with

Cytomel. I'm also planning to conceive later in the year and feel better about

being optimized with a natural thyroid than synthetic.)

Thanks!
