I switched from Nature-throid(1.25 grains which was about 44mcg of T4/11mcg of T3) to T4/T3 about 8 weeks ago. I initially was on 56mcg of T4 and 12.5mcg of T3. Now I've been on about 37-40mcg of T4 and 10mcg of T3 for several weeks.
I'm experiencing more hair shedding than usual. I think there were previous posts on the forums saying that dropping T4 too low could cause more hair shedding. I'm not sure why my hair would shed more on generic T4 than when on Nature-throid when I'm taking essentially the same amount.
Also, when I was on 56mcg of T4 I started experiencing bad depression symptoms that I didn't have on the nature-throid (44mcg).
So I feel better on the lower dose of T4 (no depression) but my hair seems to be shedding more.
Any thoughts?
