[QUOTE="VacationMan, post: 157419, member: 12425"] It's normal for TSH to tank when taking thyroid meds. In your case, TSH is low and T4 is low. I wouldn't say that's specifically an issue worthy of medicating as long as your T3/FT3 levels are in normal range. Remember that the body takes T4 and converts it to the usable T3/FT3 hormone. If T3 level is good, I'd leave things jolly well enough alone, as T4 is converted to the T3 that your body actually uses. If this is the case, your body is doing a good job of converting T4 to T3. TSH just signals the body to make more T4, so it can be converted to T3. Again, if your T3 levels are good...see? It's like folks get on HRT and get concerned when luteinizing hormone (LH) tanks. That's 100% plausible since they're supplementing your body with testosterone. LH signals the testes to make more testosterone. When the body has enough testosterone, the body stops making LH.
