Does any one feel better on a higher doseage than GP recommend. Why does 25mcg make such a difference to me?

I am not sure about your question. Do you mean because your dose was dropped by 25mcg that you feel better or worse.

Normally, your dose should be raised until your clinical symptoms subside but some GP's insist on reducing due to your TSH thus causing more problems.

Hi, mine was lowered from 125 down to 100mcg, and I thought the end of the world had come!!!! I couldn't believe that little 25 mcg could make such a big difference. Hope you feel better soon. X
