Does Sigpharm Liothyronine still work?

Hi, I tried Sigma pharm liothyronine for a few months, it worked very well. Starting 1.5 months ago my hypothyroidism symptoms returned, I have absolutely no energy. I did a stupid thing in mid October, I took 3 estrogen pills ONLY (I am postmenopausal), totally contains 6mg of estradiol. I found out that estrogen binds with thyroid. But it’s been 1.5 months, that little bit of estradiol should have been depleted from my body. But I still feel like the whole body paralyzed. I even up dosed my liothyronine, the FT3 number was excellent. I began to think whether Sigma Pharm lio is no longer good for me. Does anyone else experience the similar problem? Thanks

I was wondering that very same thing. Pharmacy switched me to this in July, symptoms but numbers say FT3 is good.

Thank you for the response. I think I figured out the cause. I have been using low dose progesterone cream. Progesterone can convert to cortisol, low level cortisol made me feel the same way as well.
