Anyone Taking Thyroid Medications? I Need Your Help!!!

Published

My doctor started me on Cytomel 5 mcg/daily in April. It didn't do much for my thyroid levels, so tomorrow after I have more blood drawn, he has me starting on two thyroid medications at once: Cytomel 12.5 mcg/daily, and Syntroid 25 mcg/daily. What is your experience with taking two thyroid meds at the same time? Anyone have any patients that take both of these meds together? Some doctors won't give two thyroid medications at once, but my PA said he believes in it. Before I start the two meds together, I just wanted some advice from those of you who are on thyroid meds, and from my nursing comrades who have experience with endocrinology patients on thyroid meds. Thanks for your help in advance. :)
