How much should I reduce Synthroid to add more Cytomel?
by Bunny333, Jun 15, 2009 06:18PM
I just got my most recent labwork back:
TSH = 0.06
Free T3 = 284 (Normal Range 240 - 420)
Free T4 = 1.3 (Normal Range .8 - 1.8)
I currently take 100mcg of Synthroid and 10mcg of Cytomel per day (that was upped from 50mcg of Synthroid & 10mcg of Cytomel 3 months ago). Still have major hypo symptoms of depression/anxiety which have been consistently the same even on old dosage. I understand that Free T3 needs to be in the upper 1/3 of range in order to get rid of depression/anxiety. Clearly I need to be taking more Cytomel, but how much more? and how much should I reduce the Synthroid to increase my Cytomel? Please help! Also, is my Free T4 okay?
