Increase in cytomel and free t3 and t4 went down
I need some help! I started on synthroid (50) and was increased to 75. My frees stayed low although in range so my doctor added 5 mcg of cytomel. No improvement and my frees dropped more. He increased to 10 and again frees dropped (free t3 is 1.5 range is 230-440. Free t4 is .7 range is .8-18). Again, he increased cytomel to 15 mcg. I am now on 15 of cytomel (5mcg 3x a day) and 75 o synthroid. I haven't gotten results yet on that dose but I feel horrible- exhausted, gaining weight, sleeping a lot, very depressed. So my guess is my labs didn't improve. Has anyone else seen this happen? I'm also having a really hard time exercising. I run a lot and lately I get so tired even going for a very easy run. My legs are very heavy and I get out of breath very quickly.
I've also had no appetite. I experience no hunger at all.
Can anyone help? Why isn't cytomel working?
