cytomel is T3 and synthroid is t4 Your liver is supposed to convert the t4 to t3 but it doesnt always do that..;I am on both and I think that is why I feel so good. everybody is different though.

I was told after my TT that I would be put on Cytomel (T3) if they found ThyCa and Synthroid (T4) if they did not. The reason for this (as I understand it) is that T3 goes out of your system faster than T4 and your body needs to have a high TSH prior to RAI.
i am also new at this but i have had hashimoto's thyroiditis since i was 16 and am now 19, i have been taking synthroid ever since. i have went from 25mcg and am now on 175mcg. my levels have never been normal for more that a couple of weeks. i have gained over 70lbs in 3 years. does anybody have a similar story and if so what did you do???
