Cytomel is T3, Synthroid is T4.
I was on 450 mg of effexor xr for a while. Blood pressure was ok, but sleep problems were worse, also had sweating, memory problems, bladder problems were much worse, also had orthostatic hypotension (even fainted once), and muscle jitteriness and myoclonus (muscle jerks).
Yes, liquid fish oil definitely has to be refrigerated. And, take a look at the thread above with me, Ritch and Larry discussing the need to shake up the refrigerated fish oil before taking it because of settling.
Is the natural thyroid supplement going to be Armour Thyroid? It is made of dessicated pig thyroids. I won't take it because I don't eat beef, fowl or pork, etc. But the synthroid and cytomel are fine for me anyway. What people say is good about Armour is that it combines the T3 and T4. Or maybe you are talking about herbs that supposedly enhance thyroid function? I don't know much about those but have heard mention of them. Somehow, I sense that the latter don't have much research to back them up yet.
Good luck.
