I had tried two different thyroid medications for months each before moving to a compounded T3/T4 specially made for me. The difference was extremely noticeable. I felt like myself again on the compounded thyroid medication! I no longer felt medicated--my body was getting exactly what it needed to function properly. Compounding has also allowed my doctor to meet the needs of *my* body as it went through pregnancy and post-partum by making slight alterations to my compound. My body isn't the same a everyone else's, why does my medication need to be?
