[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 91355, member: 972"] It's hard to believe that your overdosed when your FT3 is 3.4 I'm suspecting you may be short of cortisol. RT3 should tell you this. With TRT and any form of T3 your body needs more cortisol for that and if it cannot make it then you are left with a shortage. I used to shake like crazy before I was put on cortisol. Now that I am on cortisol I shake before I take my morning dose and than I'm fine until I wake up in the morning. I know lots of people keep their FT3 at the very top of range (I do too) and not many report it being too much. However as we know everyone is different. If you reduce your NDT or T3 then your body doesn't need to make as much cortisol so some of your symptoms should subside. This could be because of less cortisol alone. Actually with your FT3 at 3.4 I'd suggest adding another grain to your protocol and see what happens. Taking T3 or NDT is like testosterone there is a feedback loop and after a while you typically need more to keep feeling well. Perhaps you were in the honeymoon stage when you last felt good. Since you are at 3.4 you have room to go up to observe the result. Another alternative is to use hydrocortisol cream 1%... available OTC, you can google this to determine how much to use but you can use it for 3 days without it hurting you. If you rub in 10mg of hydrocortisol cream and you feel much better than you know you have a cortisol problem. [/QUOTE]
