Just started nature throid 1gr 4 days ago from syn. 88mcg x12 yrs. trying to get t3 (liothyronine) up. now very tired all day. how long to balance out?

Not equivalent: One gr of nature-throid contains 38 mcg of t4, 9 mcg t3. This is a dose that is lower than your previous dosage of synthroid (thyroxine). However it is unlikely that you would feel a change in only 4 days. Getting the "t3 level up" is meaningless in most patients, and will not change how you feel. The most important test is to make sure the TSH is normal (0.4-2.0).

Stop the pig!: You're taking nature thyorid, which is ground up pig and not calibrated by how much thyroid is in it, but by iodine content. It is worthless, contains T3 (liothyronine) & very dangerous therapy. That's why your lab is all wrong. Stop getting your medical info from the internet. Get on brand name T4 only. Can't combine w/synthroid. Check american thyroid association website and search for wilson's syndrome.
