When to take the last dose of T3 before a blood test?

[Padmaaa]

If I will have a thyroid blood tests done, let's say on Monday morning, when can I take my last dose of T3 before the blood test?

Currently I'm taking a combination of T4 and T3 at least 6 times a day, the last one around 9-10pm.

Thanks for the help.

I guess it depends on the purpose for the test.

If you want to check your current TSH, T3, T4 etc, then keep taking it.
If you want to show a doctor that you have a high TSH, then stop a day or two before.
If you want to see how your thyroid does without supplemental meds, then stop about a week or two before the test.
