Stoddy,

It depends how you feel. If you feel hypothyroid then there is scope to increase dose to raise FT3.

Yes I am going to raise Doc said wow 60mcg is a high dose of T3 which made me uncomfortable raising but if still tired and weight loss resistant it's obviously not high enough !

Stoddy,

Have you checked ferritin, vitamin D, B12 and folate levels? Low/deficient levels can cause fatigue.

Stoddy,

Yeah, but did you check levels first to see how much you need to supplement?

Raised dose by 10 mcg and no side effects How long should I wait before raising another 10?
