Free thyroxine 25pmo/l (10.3 - 24.5)

Freetriliothronine 5.7 pmo/l (3.5 -6.5)

Could someone please tell me if these are good. My mental health is still poor. And is there any much point reducing the levothyroxine monotherapy to augment or to sole liothyronine for the mental health or is because it's converting well and this is the only real issue that should be kept in mind? And is there any point in swapping treatment to armour ndt or is that just a vehicle of getting t3 in?

Is the only benefit in.....

Is the only point in adding liothyronine to raise t3 or the fact we equivelantly need to increase levothyroxine to make it hindering things elsewhere down the line?

Thankyou alp so much appreciation in advance. Michael.

Well, your conversion is not brilliant, but your FT3 isn't that bad. Room for an increase in that.

It could very well be that the levo doesn't suit you, and that going on to NDT might make you feel better. But you will have to try it to find out. It's all trial and error, I'm afraid. No-one can tell you in advance what will suit you and what won't. :)

How's your B12 - that can affect mental state even if T3 looks reasonable?
