My endocrinologist upped my dose of Synthroid (finally) to 75mcg and when I told her that I am desperate to feel better than just "half way", so she said after my follow up ultrasound for the nodules and blood work, she'll see if there is another medication approach or add T3 (Cytomel) to my Synthroid regimen.
Has anyone here use T3 (Cytomel) along with the Synthroid ?
I've read in several books that T3/T4 combo, for many is more successful, heck I'll try anything at this point.
I've been feelin unwell for way too long.
It's like an engine's spark plug/timing that is not "firing" right,in need of a tune up.
Thanks ahead of time for any replies.
Take care,

I'm sorry, DE, but all I take is the synthroid. I take double your dose though. If I hear of anyone who takes it I'll try to get as much info as I can for you.

Be sure your endocrinologist knoww that women feel better when TSH is at the lower end of the "normal" range of .350-5.50 uiIU/mL Men can feel fine at 5.5 but women tend to feel better at .350. It has something to do with testosterone, but I am not clear on the details.

I also only take Synthroid (112mcg). And I also have the form of hypothyroidism that is hard to keep at one level and so I am tested every 3 months for med adjustments.

I hope you find whatever you need to help you to feel better!
