Help with blood test results please

Hello all,

I’ve been on 125mcg Levothyroxine and 7.5mcg T3 for the past couple of months and now have my blood results. This test was taken 8am, fasting, Levo 25 hours prior, T3 13 hours prior, no vitamins for 24 hours prior, no b vitamins or vitamin D one week prior and I don’t take iron supplements.

It looks and feels like to me that I need to keep the T3 the same (I take 5mcg am and 2.5mcg pm) but reduce the Levothyroxine. I was thinking of reducing by 12.5mcg to get my dose down to 112.5mcg (from 125mcg) for a couple of months and then retest?

Thanks in advance!

TSH 0.005 (0.27-4.2)

Free T3 6.4 (3.1-6.8)

Free T4 29 (12-22)

Worse after taking the T4 but it wears off throughout the day. It’s like a heavy feeling with headache and some nausea. I don’t feel hyped but I am startled easily.

Yes I think that's a good plan.
