Defy Medical - overmedicated on Thyroid Medication?

After changing my dosage, the symptoms have definitely gone down so I am not sure if it will be helpful to get a panel done. However, if you think it will be useful, I can definitely get the lab work done and sent to your office before starting the T3. Please let me know if you would like me to do so.

I think its been said, you really can't approach this as a feel this/that/the other, from one day or week to the next, you can't shotgun meds in a trial and error manner. This thread is demonstrative of that being a path to confusion if not failure.

...small changes, change one thing at a time, test in 4-6 weeks is how this is done.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
