Default For Those Who Take Thyroid Meds
I found this on the LDN website (www.lowdosenaltrexone.org) and wondered if anyone else takes thyroid meds? I take Levothyroxine and wonder if I should decrease my dose. I'm going to talk to my PCP about it.


Those patients who are taking thyroid hormone replacement for a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis with hypothyroidism ought to begin LDN at the lowest range (1.5mg for an adult). Be aware that LDN may lead to a prompt decrease in the autoimmune disorder, which then may require a rapid reduction in the dose of thyroid hormone replacement in order to avoid symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
