Help balancing T3 and Adrenal Cortex

I am getting relatively high heart rate (mostly in the 80's), palpitations and slightly high blood pressure. Is there a way to know the difference between being on too high a dose of Adrenavive and being on too high a dose of T3, just by symptoms?

I still have many hypo symptoms, which are the same as when I was on Metavive only. The only symptom that has improved after adding T3 is having more energy (and not collapsing in bed the day after a busy/tiring day).

Otherwise, I still have very dry eyes, double vision, tinnitus, a bit of depression, some brain fog, a bit of hair loss and fibromyalgia.

Any thoughts appreciated.

There is a very insightful article by Dr Henry Lindner on the links between these two activities (and others). The site through Google is "Henry Lindner- hormone restoration". It has been advocated here in the past but like all things tends to be forgotten as time goes by. It deserves retelling. It succinctly links thyroid problems with the adrenal system and also is not afraid of advocating NDT.

Hi diogenes. Thank you for the site recommendation. I have read through the relevant pages and, though it is very interesting, I still didn't find anything that answers my question: What is the difference in symptoms between being on too much adrenal cortex and on too much T3?

I think too much T3 would be the best question. T3 is the hormone that controls almost everything at first or second hand in the body. That i,s without enough T3, the knockon effect to lots of other systems is important. The other systems are of course important, but quick response to T3's action is essential.
