One more question before the end of day.Should I increase the Levo T4 ?

Having reduced my T4 from 100 mcg to 12.5

Liothyronine (Tyromel) down from 50 mcg to 12.5 mcg. Should I have stayed on 100 mcg of Levo T4 .

I'm thinking a dose of 50 mcg of Levo T4 and 6.25 of Liothyronine T3? This dose shouldn't give me any headaches or anxiety/paranoia.

Any suggestions will be welcome with open arms.

We usually go by our blood results to see which one needs increasing.

When starting T3 we often drop our levo by 25mcg and add in 5mcg of t3. Leave it a week. Then add a second 5 msg dose of t3. Then leave it 2 weeks before increasing again.

As things are a bit mixed up for you I like your idea of 50mcg of levo and 6.25 t3. Please settle on this amount for a couple of weeks though - your body needs to stabilise.
