I am also new to this board. I have been on levoxyl for hypothyroidism for a few months and have not got the results of my blood tests yet. I'm on 50 mcg right now. I have had no improvement in my symptoms so far. I did, however, get my recent saliva test results which showed a significant change in am/pm cortisol levels from the last test done a year ago. There test results were:

2004 2005
a.m. 6.3 15.5 (3-8)
p.m. .7 .4 (.5-1.5)

There was a long discussion which included saying that I am in evolving adrenal fatigue. I have discussed this with my compounding pharmacist and she suggested the following in addition to the bioidentical hrt I'm on:

changing from 10 mg. DHEA oral to 5 mg. sublingual DHEA
vitamin C - 1,000 mg 2x/day
B-5 1,000 mg 2x/day
B-6 200 mg 2x/day
Seriphos 1 tablet in the a.m. and 2 at bedtime

I've checked out Dr. Rind's site and I definitely fit in the "mixed" section of hypothyroid and adrenal fatigue.

Does anyone have any comments/suggestions re: these supplements which my pharmacist suggested? Do they appear to be in line? Any comments on how to take such megadoses without having side effects?

I include them also to give others an idea of what kinds of treatment some pharmacists are suggesting. All of these products are OTC.
