I am self medicating on not. I am feeling very shaky. Could it be that I am over medicating?

Without your recent blood test results with ranges it is difficult to tell. You could be over or under medicated. How are your levels of B12 - Ferritin - Folate - VitD. Look to the RIGHT of your post where you will see similar posts under the heading RELATED POSTS. If you are on a phone then scroll down and down to find the same heading :-)

I've also had this, more on than off, since September. My pulse & temperature have remained the same, so I don't think it's related to TH intake.

I increased my T3, having lowered the dose thinking this was the issue, then reintroduced NDT, initially unsuccessfully. I also upped my B12 from the bottom to the top of normal range, & increased D3, iron, & everything else. My blood tests have shown no abnormalities, or at least nothing my GP has picked up or understands. :-/

Hope somebody comes up with more useful information!

It is likely to be undermedication rather than overmedication.

Simplest way to find out is to stop taking medication altogether for a couple of days, which won't do you any harm.

If symptoms get worse, take more. If they stop, take less.
