Really - the Free T3 hormone is a biggy when that symptom is present. I see you live in the UK so I imagine the Free T3 test is not available to you much.
Usually the T3 med needs to be distributed 2x's a day and 5mcg in the morning is a bit low. You probably go along fine throught the day and T3 wears down but by the time you get up in the AM you are depleted and the cycle of taking it again starts all over.
Can you suggest an additional 5mcg to take around noon with your doctor?
Hi Stella - that's the amount I was supposed to take - 10mg split into two doses of 5mg but I reduced it right down as I was worried of overdosing. I will increase it again as I never used to get a foggy head when I was on a higher dose of T3.
Fuzy head to me equals low levels (hypo) and Boy does it get fuzzy lol.
Its a shocker of a feeling and also the feeling of confusion that goes with it.
The T3 should fix that problem.
Good Luck :)
