A few days ago I increased my T3 morning dose(10 to 20mcg) and lowered the levo(125 to 100). Also, I take 5mcg in the afternoon. How long should i wait until I can do my analysis (ft3, fT4)? Thanks...

We should only change one thing at a time, if we change both we don't know which one has made a difference.

Also, adjustments of T3 should be in 5mcg increments.

Did you test before you made the adjustments? What were your levels (results and ranges)?

You should leave 6-8 weeks after changing dose for levels to stabilise before retesting.

Not what you're looking for?
