Is there any way to stop using synthroid and get into something more natural?

Try the $4 Walmarts drug program..they are great...one good thing about

Walmart. They have pages and pages of drugs that are only $4 and if your doctor

overwrites you can get 2 months worth for $4. Can't beat that.

I have been on the same dose for a couple of years and it went down from

before which I was on for many many years. It hasn't changed much and actually

got a bit better.

That's great! Mine also went down. But then it doubled.

People's hormone needs fluxuate throughout life as well as throughout

ailments. Women, for instance, will often be hypothyroid after giving

birth. Hypothyroidism is often one of the culprits behind post-partum

depression. It is also common place for those who live in the north to

need different amounts of hormone in the winter than in the summer.

People with Hashimoto's thyroiditis can actually go up and down with

medication needs for the rest of their lives depending on the immune

attack against their thyroid.

In my case, my raw food diet allowed me to no longer need a T3 med and I

was able to lower my dose of T4. However, after moving from Florida to

Vermont, my body went through some sort of huge shock. My doctors

kept lowering my dose in the winter but because of the cold, my diet

suffered and later I needed more medication and, finally, needed to be

put back on a T3 med. I switched to a different doctor who doubled my

dose - and I did fine. However, my new ND feels the problem is really

with my adrenals.
