Your best thyroid test results reflect how you are feeling. Tests should be done at the same time, best time is usually first thing in the morning BEFORE you take your medication. If you are not feeling optiumum then have a good talk to your doctor. I am very lucky to have a GP who "gets it". I was previously on 100mcg and feeling much like you. After testing for Reverse T3 she reduced to Oroxin (T4) to 75mcg and added slow release liothyronine (T3). (T4 Oroxin is inert in our system - it's only job is to convert to T3 which every cell in our body needs. I take liothyronine in the slow release form as Reverse T3 was blocking T3 from getting into my cells. Slow release T3 (liothyronine) is only available through compounding chemists via script from your doctor. @wendy55 adds T3 via Tertroxin which is just a brand name for liiothyronine but is not slow release and she feels fine. Good grief, others reading this must be very confused. hahhaha
