If you're having issues with thyroid supplementation, part of the issue may be the time you are taking your supplements. Supplementing with thyroid hormone outside of physiological windows can cause issues with circadian timing in the pituitary. It is important to work in concert with the bodies natural systems for the greatest therapeutic effect. In this context, NDT, T4, and especially T3 may be better utilized if taken in the evening before bed.
I have place a linked to Paul Robinson's website (writer of the circadian T3 method) below, as well as a link to study he mentions in the article.

FT3 shows a circadian rhythm with a periodicity that lags behind TSH, suggesting that the periodic rhythm of FT3 is due to the proportion of T3 derived from the thyroid. Optimizing thyroid hormone replacement may need to take these rhythms into account.
