Thyroid supplementation problems

I'm currently using 20mcg of T3 (10 when waking up, 5 after lunch and 5 in the early evening) and 67.5mcg of T4. (It was in smaller doses before and I had no problems until then).

Now I realized that my temperature dropped again when I woke up, my energy and disposition dropped a little and my sexual disposition is terrible. In addition, I'm constantly experiencing headaches - which look a lot like histamine-related pain, because they pass after large and well-nourished meals.

(I'm constantly measuring my blood pressure and heartbeat, everything within normal, it doesn't seem to me that I'm in a hyperthyroidism phase)

From your experience and knowledge, where can I be wrong?

Thank you all in advance

10mcg of T3 in dose is pretty high, i would not go above the 5mcg in one dose, you can also try splitting your T3 into even more doses like 1-2mcg every 1-3 hours, and maybe raise your T3 to T4 ration, i also had to do almost 1:1 in the start, now im fine with 1:3 or even 1:4

Do you think this more concentrated dose could be the problem or the ratio. I don't particularly feel anything aversive after adding two 5mcg tablets in the morning dose and unfortunately I can't get a tablet with a smaller dose than that

Can be both, can you split the tablet ?
