Should I stop t3 without increasing Tironsint T4

[Loriputnam11]

Levels before taking half dose of t3.

TSH 1.89 (47-4.68)

T4 1.10 (.78-2.19)

T3 2.8 (2.2-4.2)

Taking 25mg Tironsiny

Was taking 10mg T3 now last 2 wekks only 5 and suppose to stop T3 altogether today because I am so shaky and anxiety but scared to stop it all together as I heard it helps with depression, energy and hair growth.

Ferritin 47.4 up from 20 on supplements

Vit B12 661 (239-931)

Folic acid >20. (>=3.0)

Vit D 49.2 (40-80)

Ant thyroglobulin <20 (0-49)

Thyroid perioxide <10 (<=35.0)

Thyroid receptor AB .96 (<=1.75)

Phosphorous 3.1 (2.5-4.5)

ANA test came back negative

Corrisol salvia 0.137 (0.149- 0.739)

Cortisol blood 59 ((0-50)

So he wants me to stop all T3 today and bump up the Tironsit t4 only another 25 tomorrow. Said the T3 was short acting and should know if I feel better with a day or two of the T3. Just not sure what to do with this anxiety 6-8 hours a day and hair loss that continues but seemed a little better being on the T3. I also thought there was room to increase the T3 instead of going down and I understand his concerns because of my jittery and anxiety but I thought 5-10 mg of T3 is pretty small and maybe I need more to get over the symptoms? Im so confused and scared to go off of it. Any opinions Thank you, Lori

Loriputnam,

Have symptoms of anxiety and shakiness improved since you reduced T3 to 5mcg?

I would have suggested increasing either Tirosint or T3 to see whether symptoms improved. I think you will be undermedicated if you stop T3 without increasing Tirosint 25mcg.

Anxiety can also be an under-medicated symptom. I would have wanted to increase my T3, not stop it.
