If you have undergone thyroidectomy, and you have hypothyroidism, T3 can very well be taken. But you have not mentioned your thyroid function test. Levothyroxine supplementation once daily dosing is the most easy way of managing it. Why can't you consult your physician and ask for levothyroxine than liothyronine which is perhaps the most prescribed, proved and convenient way of managing hypothyroidism
