Looking for some advice. I’m a few weeks into an increase of levo, back up to 100mcg from 75mcg. I was advised by my prescriber to do this and then to increase my T3 v slowly to get to 20mcg from my current 10mcg.
I take both meds together overnight and don’t split my T3. The increase in levo has made a difference. Even though I felt awful at first I am now feeling better. I still tend to get an energy crash mid to late afternoon, it’s like my battery has just gone. I often need to rest / nap. This makes me think a slight increase in T3 might be good but perhaps not up to 20mcg.
I’d planned to test after the levo increase only. However a few things mean I’m a bit skint & I’m wondering if it’s ok to slowly increase to 15mcg T3 and then pay for only one test? I want to include vitamin d, iron and ferritin so the test will be a bit more expensive anyway.
What do people think, am I thinking along right lines? Or should I do a levo only test and find a way to make it work - I can live on beans for a bit 😉
As always any wisdom greatly appreciated!
