iLoveSugar said:Nature Throid is really the same as Armour or other NDT. It's very reputable in the thyroid community. In any event, T3 is the active thyroid hormone, so taking it often should definitely allow us to notice 'something'. T4 has to convert to it anyways.
I was just going to suggest you read Danny Roddy's page of quotes but I see Diane has beat me to it :)
Do you have a diagnosed liver issue? Seems very strange that 30mcg wouldn't have any effect. Aside from checking diet, I guess your options are to increase the T3 or to try a combined T3/T4 med and for longer than 2 weeks.

Yes, in the tissues but you may not feel it that soon. Broda Barnes wrote:
"Thyroid therapy does not produce overnight change. No change may be noted for about a month. Usually, at some point between one month and two months after the beginning of therapy, some of the symptoms begin to subside and the individual begins to feel better."
iLoveSugar said:1/2 grain - 1 grain in morning. The doc didn't really know much who prescribed it.
When discussing with Peat though, he said it wasn't your typical fillers and they could be very dangerous.
Can you post what he said exactly? Was he talking about your Nature Throid specifically?
Also, it's really important to stay on a consistent dosage every day for the two months instead of some days 1/2 a grain, some days a full grain. It's a very bad idea to mess around with the doses especially when your body is just starting to figure out what to do with it.
Hope that helps! Personally if it were me I would give the NDT or Cynoplus a try, but obviously you need to choose what's right for you :)
