Feeling more hypo on new protocol. I was on 175 levo once daily my results are.

Tsh 0.3-4.5 0.9

Ft4 0.54-1.24. .93

Ft3 2.5-6.0. 3.83

I was still feeling hypo symptoms eveb being dair free gluten free and evem egg free. My doc decided to give me an armour trial to ifbit helped with the t3, he added 1/4 grain of armour and brought down the levo to 150mcg. Now i feel more hypo than before he initially told me to take 1/2 a grain with the 150mcg but momentss later while i was getting my prescription he change hes mind and told me to start with 1/4 a grain daily. I believe this is a really small dose not compensating for the 25mcg he took awaybfrom the levo. Should i tell him or wait a full 6 weeks, thats along time and i dont think a 1/4 grain will makr a huge difference for 6 weeks in my system.
