T3 meds and a pounding heart
Posted , 5 users are following.
hi,
i have recently been been going through the transition of switching from levothryoxine alone (125mg previously) to a combination of this and liothyronine. I was given too much of both at the beginning of this transition and was told to stop Levo completely and I've only been taking 10mg of liothyronine for the last 4 days.
Im starting to feel tired and colder (as I am now under replaced), but I am still feeling a pounding in my chest.
has anyone else experienced this side effect of liothyronine and does it get better?
im desperate to stay on the T3 as it helps a lot with the tiredness and brain fog and Levo alone just doesn't work for me.
any help will be appreciated!

As I just commented to Barbara, they think I may have been misdiagnosed (or only needed a very small amount of thyroid medication). This was eight years ago though so the chances are my thyroid may have been damaged already and will probably need some medication anyway.
The natural thryoid meds would be my next option if I do still need to be medicated, so that's useful to know about the t4- is this still the case with NDT? As I thought this contained both T3 and T4 hormones?
Thanks
