Cytomel/Hydrocortisone ?

My blood work came back in the normal range for TSH, Free T-3 and Free T-4, however, they were at the very bottom of the range. The doctor thought with my symptoms I would benefit from taking Cytomel and Hydrocortisone, as most people feel better higher in range. I am on 20 mcg HC and 5 mcg, but I feel no difference. Does it take more Cytomel or something? Thanks!

Sorry I don't have any experience with cytomel or hydrocortisone. I'm posting to bring this to the front page so that maybe there's someone who can answer -
Hope you find the answers you're looking for.
