You need to stabalise before adding T3 in my non-medical opinion. I asked about your levels of vitamins and minerals - nothing works if those levels are poor. Stop the T3 if you think it is making you unwell.

We really need to see some results. It's more likely that you are hovering between being undermedicated and undermedicated but please post recent results and the rangesas these differ from lab to lab.
