Angela, if you complained of being symptomatic on 75mcg then yes, a dose increase should help. Your TSH is low but some people need a lower or suppressed TSH <0.03 to produce sufficient T4 to feel well. It would be helpful if FT4 was tested in addition to TSH to see levels though.

Angela, plenty of room for an increase there. Ideally FT4 will be >16.50.

You're fortunate with your GP. Many won't increase dose when TSH is low.

Mine was 0.03 and my GP reduced my dosage from 125 to 100. I was confused as I've felt sluggish and tired for at least 6 months but I feel so much better already.
