synthroid with cytomel

[acorte52]

My labs came back recently with a TSH of .08 and a free T4 of 1.9 range o.8 to 1.8 free T4 my synthroid was reduced and now Im falling crashing in the afternoon. Im also getting the fluttery heartbeat again and waking up weepy with a migrane. Any suggestions?

You went from hyper to...???

That is going to affect you. It sounds like some of your symptoms are from being hyper.

You have Cytomel in the title, so I am assuming you are thinking taking it in the afternoon may help.

Has it been six weeks since your last dosage adjustment?
How much was your Synthroid reduced?
Have you been welcomed to the forum? :o)

Thank you for the welcome. I am  hypo and take synthroid and cytomel. The synthroid was adjusted just recently. I think you may have hit on something when you said to take the cytomel in the afternoon. Gee why didnt I think of that.  DUH. Thanks!

I was taking synthyroid and cytomel until my blood work came back with TSH .007. The doc took me off the cytomel and I loved how I felt on it. I would talk with your doc and see if you can take in the afternoon instead of together. I hope it works for you. <3 K

Just be wary of taking the Cytomel too late in the afternoon or you will probably have issues sleeping.
