I just had my dose of T4 raised from 37.5mcg to 62.5 a week ago. My T3 was raised 4 days ago from 12.5mg to 18.5mg. I am still feeling like crap, how long until I feel better if this dose increase helps?

So your dose in total is 62.5 mcg T4 and 18.5 mcg T3. Strange dose! And, to be honest, I don't think you're going to get well on that. It's not enough. Do you have a copy of your last blood test results? If so, post them on here, and that will give us a better idea of how you're doing. But, I think you're going to need a few more increases before you start to feel well.
