Well, it does sound a lot. However I do know someone that was taking 375mcg T4 only.

What are your latest blood tests and do you have any symptoms of overmedication?

You say you've just increased your T3, what was it before?

I was on 250mcg T4 and 40mcg T3 at one point and still had underactive symptoms but my T4 is now 75mcg and T3 is 67.5mcg and I'm a lot better. Does your T4 do a lot for you? Do you convert it well?
