Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hoping for some advice on whether to increase Cytomel or Synthroid based on these last two test results. Doc seems to be ambivalent as to which way to go and will write script for either increase. I feel okay except for the tiredness.....very difficult to get up in A.M. Dunno if this is a symptom of my age (59) or hypo, but assuming its the hypo. I want to try upping one or the other of these - but just not sure which one to start with. Appreciate comments.
