Hello I was wondering I had been on 75 mg of thyroid medicine levothyroxine now recently in the last 6 months the doctor upped my dose to 88mg is it possible that the update can make dark circles under your eyes

I think I'm going to go back to 75 and then get my bloodwork retested because I've always done fine on 75 I don't know why this new specialist upped my dose

Nope. It's being hypo that causes dark circles under your eyes. I don't think your doctor increased your dose by enough!
