T3 and cortisol issues?
So currently I am back on 94.5 mcgs of
levoxyl
and trying to add T3. Even 1.25 mcgs of t3 taken with food gives me symptoms. Increased anxiety, tight chest, woozy/off balance, emotional etc. I’ve been trying to take 1.25 four times a day but after a few days I feel fried.

T3 and Migraine
I am taking 75mcg of T4
Levoxyl
and doing well on it but I am still undermedicated. Instead of raising the T4, my doctor is starting me on T3 5mg. Because I am so sensitive to medication I've started with 2.5 of T3 for about a week and a half now.

Levoxyl and Cytomel dosage changed after weird test results . Does it make sense?
Why lower the
Levoxyl
when my T4 is normal? 2. What is the cause of TSH being low? Is my pituitary gland not working? 3. Why double the Cytomel? Thank you for reading.

Update on my post: Hashimoto's in range, switch to Armour
The
Levoxyl
T4 I took, 16 days. (did wait until I couldn't stand reactions anymore, could not function at all last few days) Felt better on this second try of Armour. I got a newer prescription, the 5th day.

Hashimotos, in range. Should I take 25mcg Levoxyl?
Do I try 25mcg t4
Levoxyl
that may cause the burning mouth, etc. or ask for higher dose 50mcg- or try another doctor to get Armor. (He doesn't like it, says it can be unreliable dose wise)

Need advice...again
I am currently on 88 mcg of Levoxil and 5 mcg of cytomel(genetic) based on the new results, should I keep the cytomel and reduce the
Levoxyl
? Here are the new blood results FT4 1.53(.85-1.76) FT3 4.2(2.3-4.2) TSH 0.01(.27-4.68). I should mention that I have osteoporosis. Thanks

T4 (levothyroxine) intolerance symptoms?
I weigh about 78kg and can tolerate about 50mcg levo (as
Levoxyl
) per day, to which I add 10-20mcg T3 daily. If I raise my levo dose higher, I get anxiety and insomnia. This implies to me that T4->T3 conversion happens at a very slow rate.

Question on fluid draining with chf
She is on 40 mgs of lasix, metoprolol, Eliquis,
levoxyl
, and magnesium. I don’t think her kidneys are operating well either. I know, it doesn’t appear good. I just know she is getting worse with all the fluid in her. She is all right for now or I would take her to the ER tonight.

Results improved with no change in dose . ..what next?
I'm currently on 112mg of Levoxl 6 days week with 20mcg of T3 (i'm here in USA) I'm thinking of asking to have 100mg of
Levoxyl

Help with T4 & T3 dosages
Before I went back on
Levoxyl
, I was on a trial of 150mcg of Tirosint and 15 of t3 but I felt the T4 was not enough so I switched back over to Levoxy atl 200mcg. Should I have just added more t3 instead. I am kind of messed up and need some guidance.

Joint pain with T4 meds
I am taking NP Thyroid, and it seems better than with Nature Throid, but
Levoxyl
was HORRIBLE, even combined with Cytomel... My other symptoms include, weight gain, and puffy face and dry skin... TY!

controversy on taking T4 AND T3 together.
I've been taken 125mcg of
levoxyl
. Recently they decreased my dose to 112mcg. My last results were TSH 0.108, T4, Free 2.14. I've been reading about T3 and wondering why my doctor never has mentioned another medication. What is the controversy about taking T3?

New and question concerning medicine
She started me on a low dose of
Levoxyl
25mcg once a day and a blood follow up test in 6 weeks with a re-visit with her. I was happy to have some diagnosis after suffering low energy, brain fog, always cold, etc for many years.

Too much Thyroid Medicine???
Hi everyone, I was on 37.5mcg of
Levoxyl
and my tsh level was 8.81, which I know is too high, my doctor suggested I go on 50mcg of
Levoxyl
, but I got on this web-site and was told that may be too conservative.
