Pig4U can you post the lab ref ranges as it will help members comment/advise. If you have liquid thyroxine because of intolerance to fillers you probably won't tolerate the fillers in Liothyronine (T3) and I'm not aware that liquid T3 is available.

Optimal ferritin 70-90 aids thyroxine absorption and good vitD levels are needed for T4 to T3 conversion.

You can always give it a try, if you feel over medicated you can drop the dosage till you feel better. Don't rely on blood tests! Go by how you FEEL!!
