Why did your GP lower the dose ? It should only be lowered if you are feeling unwell and the FT3 is over range surely ....

Last time my the was 0.03 and on 125 then put down to 100 t3 is within the range

[Marz in reply to JAN86]

So it seems he was going by the suppressed TSH - which may have just been a blip. How did you feel when you were on the higher dose ?

[JAN86 in reply to Marz]

A lot better my t3 is normally around the 3. Mark it the highest it been for a long time before he put it down to125 I was on 150 now on 100

..I suppose you could increase it yourself and see how you go. Make sure you monitor things like your temperature and pulse - to ensure you do not go Hyper....

You should have refused another reduction. Tell him that foggy head and tired are NOT fine. TSH is more meaningful when it is high. Very often TSH is low in range when you are adding hormone.
