Hello! I have a,"What's your take on adding a bit of Cytomel to Erfa" question--
I've been on Erfa for 3 years--it corrects my TSH only--
It gets TSH down to 1.0, but FT4 is about 2 points *below* the bottom of the scale and FT3 is consistently at the lowest number of the scale.
Current dose: 3, 60mg Erfa (desiccated) pills/day
The challenge:
- Synthroid is a no-go, heart palps & vivid nightmares
- Erfa can't correct FT4/FT3 and once a year I go hypo and have to increase the dose
- Is it worth adding the lowest dose, 2.5 of Cytomel?
Caffeine-wise (just to see if others react like I do :-)--coffee gives me heart palps but decaf coffee, matcha tea, and dark chocolate do not. I figure if you react the same, your drug reactions and mine may be similar, too. :-)
