High ft3. Should I reduce my Ndt?

The following results were seen after taking my WP thyroid 6 hours prior to blood work. FT3 seems to be really high but i wonder if that's because i took my test too early? This was the result of taking 2.25 grain. I'm planning on going down to 1.75 grain but I feel like I should go down to 1.5 grain instead as my ft3 is really high and i do feel tremors. I skipped my dosage today and have been pretty decent than the previous dosage. Is there a side effect of reducing your dosage so drastically? any input to this would be great. Thanks a lot for reading it

Blood tests for thyroid hormones were introduced along with T4 ONLY.

If we take other replacement hormones like NDT (contains, T4, T3, T2, T1) or add T3 to T4, the results do not correlate. So it is all about 'clinical symptoms' and them being relieved.

I shall give you a link which might be helpful. and this doctor only took one blood test for diagnosing and thereafter concentrated upon relieving all clinical symptoms.
