A member asked:
My tsh results came back showing i was overmedicated .06 (normal .45 to 5.0), my endo said tsh will be low during treatment because the important number is the t3, (liothyronine) my reg dr says tsh should in normal?

It depends: The purpose of treatment is maintaining the t3, (liothyronine) T4 and TSH in normal rage and patient is asymptomatic.

Thyroid labs: It depends on how long you have been on the current dose, but a TSH at that level is too low and you will likely need a lower thyroid dose. The free T3 (liothyronine) and free T4 can help to define the current status along with the tsh.
