I'm converting t4 into t3 (liothyronine) well and although i've lots of t3 (liothyronine) it is not getting into my cells.i still have lots of symptoms.im on 200mcg levo.need help.

T4 and T3 (liothyronine): T4 and T3 (liothyronine) are standard items and I don't understand your statement that "T3 (liothyronine) is not getting into your cells". 200 mcg of Levothyroxine is quite a dose for a 23 year old, and it is only prescribed if your thyroid glands have been removed or are not working. I would very much appreciate getting more information from you and/or your doctor.
