Susie, lab ref ranges would be helpful, but in most ranges I have seen FT4 of 19 and FT3 5.2 would be regarded as good and indicate that you are converting.

I don't know why your TSH has dropped when you reduced Levo. Do you have Hashimoto's? Your symptoms sound as if you have swung into a hyper phase. I'd be inclined to reduce your Levo again to 100mcg and see if that helps. I think you're self medicating?

If the symptoms don't resolve you might consider menopause. In any case, don't ignore the possibility that you can have non-thyroidal illness that may need addressing.

I hope you feel better soon.
