Anyone know when to test adrenal if you just started on t3 at 5-10mcg at day? Also if you know of lab that does saliva test for morning & night time maybe the 4x a day that would be less expensive than one my Functional Dr uses they charge around $170. I have had zero motivation to do much anything during the day then around 2 pm I am feeling less depressed but not much energy then later in day little mor energy then it's hard go to sleep

Thundermind,

I don't think the fact you have started taking T3 matters re adrenal testing.

TUK can't advise on lab testing in the USA. Why not Google "saliva cortisol testing + your state" or contact Hypothyroidmom, Mary Shoman or Gena Nolen who are thyroid advocates in USA via Facebook.

If you post your recent thyroid results and ranges I can advise whether you are optimally dosed.
