I am taking 9.79 mcg liothyronine extended release plus .125 mcg generic synthroid in a.m. for Hashimoto's. In the afternoon I was taking 8.79 mcg liothyronine and crashing by mid-afternoon. When I try increasing to 9.79 in the afternoon I feel ‘normal’, can do what I need to do, but feel anxious, slightly hyper and occasionally have a headache. I have tried this increase several times with the same result and am too uncomfortable with how I felt. I also take iron, zinc, and D.
This is my first post--I hope I have included necessary info. After decades of only synthroid and being constantly fatigued, cytomel has helped me to start waking up. Thanks for any help.
