I have early stages of graves disease.

I have early stages of graves disease. I have only a high t3 according to normal levels, but all the symptoms...full blown. How do I get someone to treat me based on symptoms, not numbers? My levels in June were
tsh 3.7
t4 7.0
freet4 2.6



this week they are
tsh 2.68
t4 10.4
t3 40
freet4 4.2

how bad do they have to be to get atm meds? help! They put me on clonazepam too, doesn't that cause hyperthyroid to worsen?

Please post the reference ranges for your FT3 and FT4.  They are specific to the lab and have to be included with results.  Is that a total T3 or free T3?  If it doesn't specifically say "free", it's total.
