Should I worry about higher than normal free T3 levels?

[claire88]

Hi, I've been lurking here for a while and just registered the account recently. I started Peating this summer. Before that, I was already on T4 supplementation due to sub-clinical hypothyroidism. Since then, I added T3 and now I am on 25MCG T3 and 50MCG T4. Pulse and temp are great according to Peat standard. I just got my thyroid panel results today:
TSH 0.01
Free T3 6.2 ( reference range 2.0-4.4)

I know Peat recommends TSH level close to 0 but haven't found his opinion on higher than standard Free T3 level. Do I need to worry about high T3 level?

Welcome. How you are feeling should be part of the assessment along with your temps and pulse as well as your symptoms. While I do not have a clear answer for you, I would personally decrease my T3 dose if I was you and revaluate.

Thank you. I plan to cut the T3 dosage down to 12.5MCG and redo a blood test 2 weeks later.
