My results on 75 t4 and 5 t3

Tsh 0.4 (0.4-0.5)

ft3 3.8 (3.5-6.5)

ft4 15 (12-22)

Do you think I shall increase my dose of liothyronine or levothyroxine?

Your choice really as to which one to do first as both need increased. But only change 1 at a time.If it was me I'd inc the lio 5 mcg wait 6 weeks and do bloods . The Inc in lio will have lowered your ft4 so then an Inc in levo.
