I love it.  I can put it under my tongue and let it dissolve.  I can eat it like its candy.

Here are my full labs:

last month  220 mcg

tsh 20.20   (range  .4-4.5)
ft3   2.6     (range 2.3-4.2)
ft4  1.1   (range 0.7-1.8)

this month   235k mcg

tsh 34.89   .4-4.5
ft3   2.4     2.3-4.2  
ft4   1.0    0.8-.8


so now im on 255 mcg t4.  I am on day 3 (or 4) or something.  Ive taken 3 of them.

How could i get worse with no thyroid.  Is this nuts?

I don’t know how you take Ambien…I tried it two years ago when the insomnia started and it lit me up like a Christmas tree!  My eyes dilated to the size of dinner plates… I thought I was back in college! ;) My doctor called me back in and verified I had some type of neurological reaction to it…needed to say I cannot take it.

My neighbor sleep walks on that stuff too…

ON this 255 mcg t4,  i take it and then 4 hours later i feel like i have a jet engine in my body i have so much energy (too much)  as the day wears on, it wears off.  BY about 7-8 pm the ears start ringing and i crash.  There is no middle ground.  its either too much or too little

also i take my meds at night, and i test 11 hours later  (take at midnight, test at 1pm ) etc.  This should be okay, right?

sounds like a conversion problem. have you ever tried to cleans your liver. it might be liver damage from years of drug use. try a OTC product that helps your liver like milk thistle.
