Can low dose NDT cause high cortisol? Insomnia?

First time taking low dose NDT and I preciously had a “somewhat high” 22 a.m. cortisol reading (I have adrenal PCOS with the Hashi’s). I’m 2.5 weeks into treatment and I’m having even worse problems falling asleep! Last 3 nights I’ve been waking up between 4-5 a.m. Exhausted, moody and sick. Could it be the NDT/T3? (I also take D3, B12, Metformin, and eat lower carb.)
