I don't think I feel any different on 100t4+5t3 or 87t4+10 t3. Which one would you recommend me to stay on?

Results

87+10

ft3 5.2 (3.5-6.5)

ft4 15 (12-23)

100+5

ft3 5.2 (3.5-6.5)

ft4 17 (12-23)

I would try 100mcg Levo and try adding 3rd 5mcg dose of T3 ….so 15mcg T3 per day

Are your vitamin levels optimal

Do you mean add 5 to 87 to make 87+15 or 5 to 100 to make 100+10?

I did try 100+10 but got shortness of breath while walking and a really high hr but haven't tried 87+15.

Low ferritin so am supplementing that.

Shortness of breath often linked to low ferritin

I would consider trying again 100mcg levothyroxine plus 2 x 5mcg T3

What dose tablets T3 have you got

Or are they capsules

If 5mcg or 10mcg tablets…..you could initially increase by 2.5mcg T3

Not what you're looking for?
