I'm on 150 levothyroxine and have my thyroid still. I can only imagine ur doc is bringing up ur dosage slowly and u will still get a higher dosage. Otherwise it seems very low to me.

I have been on 125g of thyroxine for 10 years now and that dose has maintained my thyroid levels at the correct level in all that time. Peoples requirements vary depending on what level of activity their thyroid is working at. I have a friend who's been on 75g for years

Hi and welcome Samcozza

Whilst we can probably help you with weight loss, most of us won't be able to help with questions specifically related to your thyroid and its treatment. It may be helpful for you ask the members of the Thyroid UK community
