i was fine at 100mcg of t3.. made me go toilet heaps... umm not sure whats keeping u awake i would just divide the dosage as much as possible. BTW I was taking liquid t3 which i believe to be under-dosed crap (or just cant be acurately dosed by these so called research chems) got it from a good reliable source too. I have now got my hands on some t3 from turkey which im looking forward to taking in the future. Make sure you ramp down slower, i noticed some extra fatloss during that ramping down process.

im using t4 pharm grade pill form @ 60 mgs daily and the first couple days i only got like 4-6 hours of sleep but everything went back to normal after those days ... i would take it in the morning as well ... didn't do that not eating things .. eat it with food .. no soy tho ... good luck sleeping ... i also use some melatonin for those tough nights to fall asleep
