    As cited earlier, physicians prefer to prescribe T4 largely because it's a once a day med. There are also compound meds, i.e., T3 and T4 in the same tab which is sometimes prescribed.

    Stay the course Charger, and I'm glad your ok man!
    I’m sure I’ll make up my own prescription around competition time. LOL
