Sourcing t3

Hi. I am trying to source t3. I gave tsh almost zero and t4 in upper range. However low t3 when gp finally tested it. Below range. I have been referred to a specialist. However, I have started reading this forum and am keen to try some t3. Basic symptom is fatigue. I eat the right things and rest enough. On 125 t4. From what I understand 75 t4 and 10 t3 should /would work better. Any advice regarding sourcing some myself would be welcome. Long waiting list for consultant. Thank you jacqui

Jacqui71,

Non-UK T3 is usually 25mcg. Buy a pillcutter and quarter a tablet and start with 6.25mcg taken with Levothyroxine. If you tolerate it okay you can add a second 6.25mcg dose at bedtime. Hold at 12.5mcg T3 for 6-8 weeks and have a thyroid test including FT3 before increasing further.
