You need to look for a dose increase it would seem to me. Your metabolism isn't rising sufficiently yet.

am to Turkey in 2 weeks so gunna re test after holiday b good if I can lose even more each week. I have a hoard of t3 I got from Greece on holiday and I take half tablet Wi my levo inly on 100 mg but by last tsh in Feb was 0.4 but I no I need t3 etc testing too. I might try full tablet of t3 25mg from tomorrow c how that goes. I plan on buy a load of t3 while in Turkey j x

If you are going to add T3 to 100mcg levo I'd suggest adding 1/4 only to 100mcg then about every 2 weeks you can add another 1/4 taking account of your symptoms and how you feel. Also take your temp/pulse several times a day before you begin T3 and some people feel too hot and assume they're taking too much when they may not be.

If you want to stop your levothyroxine altogther you can take 25mcg of T3 instead which is about the same effect as 100mcg of levo.
