I had an appointment with my doctor and she has said I could either leave my dose as is at 125mcg a day or reduce to alternate days 125/100mcg.
My results were:
TSH 0.006 (0.38-5.0)
Free T4 13.6 (7.0-16.0)
Free T3 5.9 (3.8-6.0)
I feel good other than having loose bowels and a few mild headaches. The only thing I am a bit worried about is the high free t3 as this has never been above around 5 before. My doctor didn’t think it would be that causing my symptoms though. Please help...
What I wouldn't do is agree with your GP to reduce the dose.
By all means, consider reducing and discuss here and anywhere else. Even try doing so. But don't agree a reduction in what is prescribed. It is so very easy to get it reduced but could be next to impossible to persuade her to raise it again.
Hi helvella, she’s left my prescription at 125mcg I’m just unsure what to do. Could I possibly be having symptoms of being over replaced with the above test results?
Suggest you try taking slightly less for a day or two or three. And see if it makes any difference.
I dropped it down to alternate 100/125mcg for a week now and my stomach is worse. Is that a sign I should raise back to the original 125mcg a day helvella?
What make are you taking?
Has that changed at all?
No change in brand x
Oops on Lio dose - should I reduce?
Updated thyroid levels - should i reduce my T4 slightly?
Very very confused. Should I reduce my NDT & add T3 
Should I reduce dose of NDT on these labs ?
Should I take magnesium
