So i've been on 3 grains daily for a few months.
Lately (few weeks) ive had pretty bad insomnia and my hands shake. They sometimes shake so much that it's hard for me to align the needle into the vial for my T shot.
Ive done some reading and as usual come up with conflicting information.
According to this site I am over medicated. It says that if your TSH falls below the range (.3 - .5) and having symptoms you're over medicated. I have the symptoms and my TSH is .04.

Then according to this site, I could be having a cortisol issue, which I very well might anyway
