I was having the same issue. I could be so ready to sleep until I took my

bedtime meds, then I was UP! I dropped the HC but kept taking the small T3 dose

and I sleep like a baby now. Something I haven't done since I was a young

child. When I had my adrenals tested, I was low in the mornings and high at

night, which for me, explained the lifelong insomnia. I can't express how

thrilled I am to actually be able to go to bed and go to sleep and stay asleep

until morning! It's worth a try to move that bedtime HC into the other doses.

it's a good idea to take T3 at night too or to try and take all my T3 in the

morning and afternoon.

I'm still having these issues as well with sleeping, or should I say NOT

sleeping! I have even tried waiting until I wake up in the middle of the night

to take the HC and t3 -- with no better results. I have tried every combination

of HC, higher, lower. Tonight I think I will resort to the one thing I haven't

tried -- no t3 at bed. I KNOW it's supposed to be the right thing to do, but I

suspect some of us just can't take it then. I can't take t3 with out any HC or I

wake up feeling shaky with some heart pounding. But I think taking enough HC to

tolerate the t3 wakes me right up! Or maybe the t3 is just waking me right up as

I fall asleep just fine but wake up constantly all night long " ready to go " and

it doesn't feel like the horrid adrenaline rushes, just wide awake.

That does it. I'm stopping the t3 at bedtime, too, as it also wakes me right up!

I can't stand not sleeping anymore. How much adenal stress is THAT alone

causing??!!

Hopefully, here's to a good night's sleep tonight -- finally!!

Oh, and your story is awful about the ER! Even now, can't believe the stupidity

of medical staff...

Darn, I learned a valuable lesson. For some of us that have trouble falling

asleep taking T3 will only keep us up more. I can't take it right as I am

nodding off because it makes me wake up.

was and when my thyroid tests came back suppressed I was able to explain the

reason behind it to the neurologist and she actually understood. The entire

time I dosed myself because they wanted to give me 75 of T3 all at one time

instead of spacing it out.
