Posting on behalf of my son.. he's just been diagnosed.

Hi.. I'm hoping for some info & help I can give to my son.. he's nearly 31 & just been diagnosed with hypothyroidism...his tsh was 130. His doctor has told him to start on 75mg of levothyroxine after he had a bad reaction to some other medication he first prescribed....does 75mg sound too much to start on? I thought 50mg was a starter & then go up in 25mg increments? Many thanks for any help...
