conundrum

I am hypothyroid taking 25 cytomel and 125 synthroid.

Recent blood tests

Free t4 1.23
tsh 2.27
t3 2.31
290 non fasting triglycerides
212 cholesterol

So the conundrum I am in is this......I feel hypo and the tsh is high for me but the t3 is high.  Any thoughts?

feeling hypothroid, tired, weight gain, dry skin

something isn't right, I would ask for a retest in 1 month. Make sure that is a free T3.

Lab range for the T3 is .6 to 1.81 and the range for the T4 is .89 to 1.76

What was your lab range for the free T3?  Your TSH should be more supressed being on the Cytomel....hmmmm.....your free t4 looks good.
