Hi je, it may be that your adrenals cannot keep up with your dose.  Are you taking 2 1/4 grains of Armour?  You could skip taking any hormone for one day so that you get no T3.  If you feel better, I'd lower the dose which I guess you just increased.  You need some adrenal support.

I like this man's explanation for both thyroid and adrenals.

It does sound as if you're on a little too much. I would reduce the dose and see if that helps. These are unpleasant symptoms.

Okey, lab reports my suspition. 

TSH 0,87 (range 0,2-4,0)

Free T4 17,3 (range 11-23,0)

Free T3 6,6(range 3,5-6,5)

and blood is taken after more than 12 hours

So, reduce with 15 again or what?It could be that I was overdosing at 120 as well but Need body to calm down now.

Not what you're looking for?
