Increasing T3 towards the cold seasons.

Just wonder what percentage have most people have had to increase their T3 by, when the weather gets colder?

I had been doing not bad on 50mcg of T3 split 4 times per day until the last couple of weeks, on top of that my insomnia has been getting worse, to the point where I am only getting 4 hrs sleep a night. If it is adrenal related, I know taking more T3 could drive them down even more.........hard to know what strategy to take :/

This is a link which may give some information. If you click on T3 there are several questions/answers but I would recommend the date July 5, 2000.

Some people do need an increase in cold weather and a reduction in hot.
