Can see from previous posts you have Hashimoto's

Are you on strictly gluten free diet?

What are your vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 levels like? What supplements are you taking.

It's essential to have optimal vitamin levels

It's normal for T3 to be started very very slowly. 1/4 tablet (5mcg or 6.25mcg) just once a day to start with. Possibly adding another 1/4 tablet later in day after a week or so, but then holding at that dose and Testing 6-8 weeks later.
