Hi,

I,ve just got my blood test results back.

Tsh..0.01(0.27-4.2)

T3..6.7(3.1-6.8)

T4..18.2(12-22)

My thyroxine was increased from 75mcg to 100mcg in June.

I started taking my thyroxine at night and split the t3 3 times a day.

I haven't been sleeping very well and feel a bit Anxious and i,ve lost weight.Should i reduce my t3 slightly?

You could try reducing to 12.5mcg or 10mcg. You also have scope to increase your levothyroxine if you lower your T3 further, since it's around 18.
