Excessive sweating on thyroid medications

[Appassionato]

Hi guys. I've been doing well so far with the introduction of thyroid medications to my regimen. It seems TRT alone was slowly killing my already lazy thyroid and I was feeling always tired and in a low mood state, despite proper androgens numbers on paper.
I then started adding T4 first, but wasn't converting well to T3, and symptoms were getting better, but still present. With the introduction of T3, everything went back in place. I feel great, loads of energy, despite going through a period of heavy stress at work.
Now the only problem is that I started sweating much more than before and I was already above average in terms of sweating amount. I guess that's expected, given the raise in body core temperature, but I was wondering if somebody had the same thing and managed to sort it out.

I was on 150 mcg of T4 and 18.75 mcg of T3. Now I dropped it to 100 mcg of T4 and 18.75 mcg of T3, hoping the situation will get better, without getting symptoms again.

Before you adjust your meds I would have labs done. Only way you know for sure what to do.

Thanks Vince for your response. I'm not running them as often as before, as I learned to go by symptoms rather than numbers. Thyroid medication fixed all the remaining symptoms and I feel good. The only issue now is excessive sweating.

I'm also on thyroid meds. I use 90 mg of thyroid armor and 6.25 MCG of t3 twice a day.

Do u think ur thyroid levels are just a bit too elevated? I also noticed excessive sweating when I was on lugols iodine and my free T3 levels were in the low 5’s. I’m still experiencing excessive sweating I think, but it’s a little bit better. 2 months after stopping lugols my thyroid labs looked identical to when I was taking the lugols. So not sure how long it’s gonna take for my levels to get back to baseline. I’m hoping once they reach baseline, that the sweating I’m experiencing calms down a bit

Did you see any change in your sweating?
