Yes you can take both. I am currently taking levothyroxine & cytomel. It has only been about 2 1/2 months since my TT and about a week since my RAI. My doc says the combo has great results for sensitive people. Guess time will tell. Definately talk to your doctor. Everyone is different, but maybe you need that extra boost. Good luck!
How did you get your DR to agree? My endo is pretty old school and even though I tell him my quality of life is poor due to fatigue and fog, he will not put me on both. I was on T3 and T4 treatment for a little over a month last year (new Endo who moved) and never felt better. Then the DRS found my cancer had recurred. I had my RAI last November and am still suffering the hypo effects from preparing for it and trying to be medicated properly (currently on .175.
I would rather get osteoporosis and any other side effect from the dual treatment than live as I feel right now. I can barely teach school, my house is a disaster and my libido does not exist. If I could get Cytomel on the black market.......kidding.
Is there an endocrinologist in Los Angeles that will medicate you based on how you feel and not on the numbers?? Please help
