No you are right, T3 is your wake up hormone (though some say they do better taking it very early in the morning - like 5:30), T4 is your night time med. You might try your 6mcg dose midway through your day. T3 is fast acting and some find it better to split their dose into 3 or even 5. But, otherwise, if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Ok thanks, yes that was my thinking when I began this regime, then I began reading today somewhere that the body uses the T3 during the night (all very confusing!)
I did originally split doses and then tried 25 in one go in the morning and it made no difference
I find T3 at night keeps me awake; T4 can make me sleepy; either at night keeps me up an extra hour waiting to pee, with a high probability of then staying up too late; taking at night can cause concerns over the timing of the last meal; Dr Lowe wrote that taking both in the morning was OK/preferred, and I agree, but I can't keep awake during the evening.
Oh I don't want to take anything which will keep me awake - I aready have to get up most nights for a bowl of cornflakes to get me to go off to sleep! Maybe both in the morning is a good plan then?
