Most thyroid drugs will work...the issue is once you are regulated at a specific dosage on a specific thyroid drug brand or off brand you can’t change the brand (say from synthroid brand to an off brand) or it screws you up. Also an 88mcg dose of synthroid may have a better effect than 88mcg’s of another ‘throid brand and thus dosages may have to be adjusted; meaning more lab tests ect!

Yeah I know. You have to start over again but the ones from overseas don’t require a script. All the docs I went to said I was “in range” and wouldn’t do anything. Paid for my own tests to see and just purchased from overseas (and Canada). Feeling fine now. Test results are way better and the best thing is me feeling better. Before the age of testing, docs prescribed meds based on symptoms. Now it’s the tests and if you are “in range” you are screwed. In range is for everyone but may not be “your” particular range. Nodules on my thyroid as well that he said “we’ll watch”.
