Extremely low TSH

[wayney]

Hi,

I've been using T3 and T4 from Nouveaux for 2 months.
Started with 12,5 mcg T3 and have increased the dosage with 6,25 mcg every second week.
I’m up at 37,5 mcg T3 and 100 mcg T4 and have not seen any real improvement in pulse and temperature - this morning 36.4 degrees and 58 bpm.

Yesterday i did some blood work to see if my TSH had dropped (it was 3,4 mE/L before I started with Nouveaux).

Just got back my results, and my TSH has dropped extremely.

TSH 0.078 mE/L (ref 0.40-4.00 mE/L)
T3 7.0 pmol/L (ref 2.4-6.0 pmol/L)
T4 5.5 pmol/L (ref 9.0-19 pmol/L)

I guess this is way too low and that I should decrease my dosage?
Why do I not see any improvements in temps and pulse?

Thanks!

Are you taking all that t3 at once?

No 6,25 mcg T3 split through out the day with food.
25 mcg T4 x 4 time per day.

Gotcha. I personally take 100% of my t4 at night @ 75mcg. I take t3 5mcg three times morning day night

Did you ever get answers to your questions? My tsh dropped dramatically, too, and my temp and pulse have barely moved. How did you figure out what to do? Are you feeling better?
