Tsh is .08 (lab reference rrange .27 - 4.20) ft4 is .78 (lab reference range .93 - 1.7) current treatment armour 75 mg daily. do i need to see dr?

Yes!!!: Tsh is suppressed due to too much thyroid from your armour dose which contains a fixed ratio of T4 to t3 (liothyronine). I'm curious as to your free T3 (liothyronine) (ft3 (liothyronine)) value since your ft4 is low, too. Ft3 (liothyronine) is considered active hormone. However, by dropping your armour dose, both T4 & T3 (liothyronine) doses will drop in accordance, too. Chat w/your doc about branded levothyroxine (which brand isn't important as long as you stick w/one).
