Hi everyone, after all your previous advice have decided to increase T3 by another 5mcg. I presently take my levo (50) and 5 T3 at 6am and second dose at 12.30. So I am unsure where to introduce the third dose? How long is it best to leave between doses? Would 6am, 11.am and 4pm be ok? I guess if take much later might interfere with sleep? Would rather take as three individual doses as have previously struggled when tried to increase t3 (poss due to adrenal issues) so need to go very carefully and slowly I think. Your thoughts appreciated as always. Take care all.x

Blackcap, it is very individual as to how long to space between doses and trial and error is the only way to find what suits you. FT3 is highest around 01.00 so taking T3 later in the afternoon/evening won't necessarily interfere with sleep and some find taking T3 at bedtime gives them better sleep. I take my 2nd dose at bedtime.
