i started on levothyroxin in july 25mg 1x per day.  yes it was the ft4, ft3. tsh,3rd generation.  ranges are t4=0.8-1.8 ng/dL, t3=230-420 pg/dL, tsh=0.40-450.  i am starting to get symptoms as before i started meds.  fatigue, constipation, weight gain, headache, hard to fall asleep, just a run down feeling.  i was reading some of the posts and it sounds like adding cytomel is making people feel better?

What are the reference ranges for your FT3 and FT4?  How long have you been on med? Maybe you just to increase your T4 med?  It would depend on the reference ranges and where you fall in them.
