As with many drugs, Xanax stays in the body long after a person stops feeling its effects. Experts use a half-life measurement to determine how long a drug stays in the body. A drug’s half-life is the time it takes the body to eliminate half of it.

The half-life of Xanax is 8–16 hoursTrusted Source in a healthy person, with a mean half-life of 11 hours. This is shorter than that of many other benzodiazepines.

However, the term “half-life” can be misleading. This is because it takes four to five half-lives for the body to eliminate a drug. This means that it may take an average of 44–55 hours, or about 2 days, for Xanax to leave the body.

In one 2019 study, researchers reported that they could detect Xanax in a person’s saliva for up to 2.5 days after their last dose.CONTACT;text calls and whatsapp;+15136660803,wirkr;martinsscott1986

Blue Xanax, like all forms of Xanax, is prescribed for the short-term treatment of the symptoms of anxiety disorders or panic disorders.

Xanax works by reducing activity in the CNS (central nervous system) and brain. This mechanism of action induces a sense of calm, intensifying the effects of a naturally occurring brain chemical, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid).

First approved by the FDA in 1981, Xanax is still widely prescribed in spite of its habit-forming potential.text calls and whatsapp;+15136660803

Millions of prescriptions of thyroid medication will be filled this year and the vast majority of them will be for levothyroxine.

Of those millions, only about 10% or so will go to a class of thyroid medication called natural desiccated thyroid. 

Despite being only 10% of all prescriptions, thyroid patients have a clear preference for it. 

Not only does it help with weight loss, but it also can help better control thyroid symptoms based on surveys of thyroid patients. 

There’s only one problem: 

Doctors don’t like to prescribe it. 

Unfortunately, they are under the impression that NDT is an inferior medication to levothyroxine which is why today, I’m busting these NDT myths. 

Here they are, in no particular order: 

1. Claim #1: Taking NDT Will Cause Bone Loss & Heart Problems
Long-term studies show this isn’t true PROVIDED you are not taking more than you need. 

2. Claim #2: Newer Synthetic Medications Are More Effective
The idea here is that NDT may cause side effects because of its T3 content. This may happen, but it’s also the reason that people prefer NDT... because it works. 

3. Claim #3: NDT is Not FDA-Approved 
This is true but irrelevant. NDT has been use since 1890 so it was grandfathered into the FDAs newer requirements. 

4. Claim #4: NDT is Old-Fashioned 
This isn’t true either as all thyroid medications contain the same bio-identical thyroid hormones. The same T4 that is found in levothyroxine is also found in NDT. 

5. Claim #5: Taking NDT Will Cause Mad Cow Disease 
NDT comes from pigs (not cows), and there’s never been a reported case of Mad Cow disease in the US. 

6. Claim #6: Taking NDT Will Increase Thyroid Antibodies 
This is theoretical and may be a problem for a rare subset of people, but not enough to warrant that everyone avoids it. 

Claim #7: NDT Isn’t A Real Medication Because it Can Be Purchased Over The Counter
NDT is not the same thing as over-the-counter thyroid glandulars which is what this claim confuses.

What Doctors Get Wrong About NDT Thyroid Medication

Over 100 million people will fill a prescription for levothyroxine this year and most of them have no idea how many different things interfere with its function. 

This includes food, medications, and, yes, even supplements. 

Which is why I put together a list of supplements that can cause problems with thyroid medication. Are you taking any? 

1. Biotin
- Biotin interferes with the ACCURACY of thyroid medication and levothyroxine. 

2. Caffeine
- Caffeine decreases the absorption of your thyroid medication. 

3. Iron and calcium
- Both iron and calcium bind to and inactivate levothyroxine and other thyroid medications. 

4. Glucomannan and other fiber supplements
- Glucomannan and fiber supplements delay the absorption of thyroid medication. 

5. Estrogen enhancing supplements. 
- Supplements that increase estrogen increase thyroid binding globulin which decreases how much free thyroid hormone your body can use.

Supplements That INTERFERE With Levothyroxine (& other thyroid medication)

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t HAVE to take your thyroid medication first thing in the morning. 

In this video, I discuss some newer studies which show that taking thyroid medication in the evening can be just as effective (if not more effective) than taking in the morning. 

The takeaway here is that it doesn’t really matter when you take your thyroid medication so long as you are taking it on an empty stomach. 

And to do that, all you need to do is make sure that you take it 2 hours after (or before) a meal. 

This leaves the stomach with 2 hours to empty which means that food will not interfere with its absorption. 

There are two ways to transition to taking your thyroid medication in the evening and I call them the non-skip approach and the skip approach. Most people have no problem taking their thyroid medication in the morning and then again in the evening but if you are sensitive then you may want to try the skip dose approach. 

For more information and research on this topic, check out this article: https://www.restartmed.com/is-it-safe-to-take-thyroid-medication-at-night/

Lévothyroxine – Comprendre la Chronopharmacologie, les Interactions et les Bonnes Pratiques

If levothyroxine contains thyroid hormones and thyroid hormones control metabolism, shouldn’t taking levothyroxine help with weight loss? You would think so, but that’s not what happens in the real world. 

Instead, we have studies and anecdotal experience that show that patients taking levothyroxine experience no positive benefits to their weight. And worse than this, some actually experience weight GAIN. 

But how can this occur? 

It has everything to do with the type of thyroid hormone found in levothyroxine and what that thyroid hormone means for the body. Levothyroxine and Synthroid contain the thyroid hormone T4, which is inactive by itself. It’s not until the body converts it into the active thyroid hormone T3 that it becomes usable. 

In a perfect world, everyone would be able to convert this hormone readily but that’s not the world we live in. 

Which is why studies show that people who take other more active thyroid hormones do experience the weight loss you’d expect to see from levothyroxine (but don’t). 

This doesn’t mean levothyroxine is a bad medication, but it does mean that you shouldn’t rely on it to help with weight loss. But you can get where you need to be by using a combination of thyroid hormones including: 

T4, T3, and T2. 

Recommendations for each (which mimics the healthy production of the thyroid gland) include: 

80-100 mcg of T4 
5-20 mcg of T3
100-200 mcg of T2

This combination of thyroid hormones is much more powerful than just taking levothyroxine alone and can help you lose weight with minimal effort. 

If this is the first time you’re hearing about T2 then make sure to check out this video next: https://youtu.be/2cL641utwn4?si=CigxA1lu4JHgO-eo

This Thyroid Medication CAUSES Weight Gain

Cytomel is a T3 only thyroid medication (the brand version of liothyronine) that is far more active than levothyroxine. Because it’s so much more active, it also happens to be much better at helping thyroid patients with Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism lose weight. 

Before you run out and grab it, though, or try to switch medications, there are a few things you need to know. 

When using it you will want to keep an eye on certain lab tests including free t3, total t3, and reverse T3. 

In addition, you will also want to keep an eye on your basal body temperature and resting heart rate. 

Because of its power, it’s important to keep an eye on these metrics to make sure you don’t accidentally take too much. 

As far as dosing for weight loss is concerned, most patients do best taking a dose somewhere between 5 and 20 mcg per day. 

Instead of thinking as Cytomel as an alternative to levothyroxine, I think it’s best thought of as a complementary option to it. 

Many thyroid patients see the best results when using both of these thyroid medications together. 

In addition, combining them with T2 will yield even better results. You can learn more about T2 and how it helps with weight loss here: https://youtu.be/2cL641utwn4?si=Q0h0JUDqAUOK8uld

Is This The BEST Thyroid Medication For Weight Loss?

Why is it that some thyroid patients experience almost too good-to-be-true side effects when they STOP taking thyroid medication? And why does taking thyroid medication seem to make some people feel WORSE? 

Should thyroid medication make thyroid patients feel better? You would think so, but life isn’t always that simple. 

There are some people who lose weight when they stop taking thyroid medication and, in this video, I want to explain why. 

Here are two reasons: 

1. You were taking levothyroxine when you didn’t need to be on it. 

Up to 30% of thyroid patients taking thyroid medication right now don’t need to be on it. If you are someone who is taking medication when you don’t need to, you may be making your thyroid worse (because your own thyroid gland would do a better job at regulating your levels compared to a medication). 

2. Your dose of levothyroxine was too high. 

Contrary to what you might think, high doses of levothyroxine will not always cause weight loss. In fact, taking too much thyroid medication can cause your body to create high levels of reverse t3 which results in tissue-level hypothyroidism. 

By stopping thyroid medication, your reverse T3 level can decrease which, paradoxically, improves thyroid function at the cellular level. 

Does this mean you should stop your thyroid medication if you want to lose weight? No! But it does mean that if you are having trouble losing weight that you should take a closer look at your thyroid medication dose to determine if you are taking the right amount and if you really need to be on it. 

You can learn more about getting off thyroid medication in this video: https://youtu.be/fWQy12y-iNg?si=SLXnFphnWHM5HvGF

Weight Loss After Stopping Levothyroxine (Here’s Why It Happens)

Do you feel like your thyroid is taking over your life? Are you suffering from symptoms like weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, brain fog, or mood swings? If so, you aren’t alone. 

In fact, millions of other thyroid patients in the United States and around the world suffer from the same issues. And these issues persist even in the face of normal treatment with thyroid medication!

The question is: what can you do about it?

That’s exactly what this podcast is about.

I’m Dr. Westin Childs (D.O.) a former practicing osteopathic physician and my goal is to help thyroid patients get back to feeling 100%. 

Well, I actually have 2 goals:

#1. The first is to help 1 million thyroid patients directly or indirectly. 

And #2. To create the most comprehensive and helpful thyroid resource for thyroid patients on the internet. 

I know just how debilitating thyroid disease can be and I also know that it is possible to take control of your life. 

One of the biggest problems with thyroid management is that we just don’t talk about it enough. 

This podcast changes that. 

We are going to discuss all sorts of topics ranging from thyroid management, the use of less talked about thyroid medications, opinions on emerging treatments and therapies from leading experts, the use of natural therapies and how they fit into the conventional model, and so much more. 

If you want more information aside from the standard thyroid treatment of TSH and levothyroxine then this is the place for you. 

We won’t just stop at your thyroid, either. 

Other topics that are relevant and important to thyroid function will be discussed including things like hormone balance, menopause, testosterone replacement therapy, and weight loss therapies. 

If something helps you to better manage your thyroid, improve your symptoms, lose weight, or balance your hormones then it’s something I want to include.
