Would lower dose T4 and some T3 get TSH in range?

Results on 87.5 T4

Tsh 0.30 (0,35-5,5)

Ft4 18,4 (12-22)

Results on 112.5 T4 and 6.25 T3

Tsh <0,005

FT4 20 (12-22)

Ft3 4,9 (3,1-6,8)

My question is if I reduce T4 to 100 is that likely to get Tsh into range? Am afraid of osteopatis.

The answer is no. Taking T3 generally lowers TSH so you're unlikely to get TSH back into range whilst taking it.

Low TSH does not cause osteoporosis. TSH has nothing to do with bones. As long as your FT3 is in range, you're ok. :)
