Re: Low TSH, High T4
It is possible with a high T4 and low TSH, that your dose of synthroid is too high, but you are not converting the T4 to T3, which is the most important part. That can make you feel tired, etc. even with what appears to be hyperthyroid lab results. It would help to get your free T3 measured, which could be low, and you might feel better on a combo of synthroid and Cytomel (T4 plus T3) or armour thyroid, a natural thyroid that has both components in it. Synthroid and Levoxyl are just T4. I would talk with your Dr about this, and make sure you are seeing a Dr. who really understands thyroid treatment in depth.
