.03 TSH levels
Hello, I also have <.03 TSH and my T4 and T3s are within normal range. I was 200 mcg and now down to 137, ut I am way to tired, constipated and muscle pain, and the doctors not sure what is happening. Any suggestions as to why the TSH levels are not moving?

How long can you stay on that dosage (50 mcg synthroid, 10 mcg cytomel)? It's going to take several weeks (or more) to stabilize; do you have enough of each of the pills to go that long?
Hello Barb,
yes I decided to figure this out on my own as the capsule pills were going to give me a heart attack. The pressure in my head was to much and even when I only took 1/2 the capsule (over 1 week) it still gave me severe headaches. I have been on the capsules for over three weeks now and not getting better. I hope I have done the right thing.

You said on April 14: "I am taking 25mcgof synthroid and 25mcg triiodothyronine capsule form"......... Now you say: "I noticed that be taking the 50mcg synthroid and 10mcg of cytomel I get hot flashes during the day".
Did you change your synthroid dosage? Do you I understand correctly, that you now take 50 mcg synthroid and 10 mcg cytomel?
Sometimes, changing a medication or dosage can cause different symptoms. Also, keep in mind that it takes several weeks for the synthroid to build up in our system, so you won't feel effects of it, right away.

Its a compound that is made at one pharmacy cannot buy it over the counter. I noticed that be taking the 50mcg synthroid and 10mcg of cytomel I get hot flashes during the day. Not sure I understand it as I was taking 25 mcg of triiomeds and only had night sweats and jitters and with 10mcg in pill form I get hot flashed during the day and I am tired
Its a compound and I am praying that taking 5mcg in the morning and then again at lunch will do the trick. Thanks again goolarra and barb
If the triiodothyronine capsule is all T3 (25 mcg), that's a big dose, especially to take all at once. Do you get it at a compounding pharmacy as a prescription, or is it sold over the counter?
If I were you, I think I'd try taking just 5 mcg of Cytomel in the morning with your Synthroid and taking the other, as you suggested at lunch time. If you feel better doing that (don't have the jitters, etc.), you can ask your doctor about increasing a little if you still lack energy.
