Dosing advice please.

My latest results on 112,5 mcg t4 and 12,5 mcg t3 is

Tsh 0.008 (0.27_4.2)

Free T3 5.9 (3.1-6.8)

Free T4 20.3 (12-22)

Total t4 88.8 (59-154)

Been in this dose for 6 weeks. I'm still tired in the afternoon and have palps. Would it make sense to decrease t4 by 25 and add 6.25 T3? Or better to leave as it is?

Thanks!

Those results look good - I’d veer away from altering dosages for now.

What do you know about your Vit B12, Vit D and ferritin levels? Nutritional deficiencies could be causing the symptoms you describe and are very common in those with hypothyroidism.

All are Middle or top of range. Thanks

Do you think its a bad idea to swap some 25t4 for 6.25t3?

Not what you're looking for?
