Very soon, ? need T3 (liothyronine): "normal" levels do not mean you're receiving adequate treatment. Levothyroxine only has t4. Many don't convert T4 to T3 well & thus need to take T3 too.Have your doc check free t3.If not in upper half of normal range request liothyronine or dessicated thyroid. See http://abt.Cm/18gpb3a & http://bit.Ly/15k26u8.There is a good chance you have adrenal fatigue too- see http://www.Adrenalfatigue.Org/.

Hypo symptoms: The symptoms should clear quickly, over a few weeks. If your thyroid levels are normal, then your fatigue is not thyroid related. Talk to you doctor about this, but you should probably not focus on the thyroid anymore.
