Add Active Thyroid.: Adding active thyroid (t3) will make a difference as it is a stronger inhibitor of tsh. There is no T3 in synthroid (thyroxine). T3 can be found in nature-throid or westroid. Check antibodies (anti-tpo, anti-thyroglobulin) and rt3 (reverse T3 that is inactive). These can be improved and/or corrected with higher does of t3. You may to also add t3sr from compound pharmacy, too. Take 2-3x daily as directed.
