The main question is 'how do you feel' and by your comments above, you feel awful. So that would lead me to think you definitely need an increase.

When you give your results you have to put the ranges. The reason being that labs differ and it makes it easier to comment if the ranges are posted too.

Was your blood test at the very earliest, fasting (you can drink water)and did you leave about 24 hours between your last dose of levo and the test? If not, your results will be skewed.

Do you mean your FT4 is 14.8? If your FT3 were 14.8, I think you might be a bit over-medicated. But, as you don't give the ranges, it's difficult to say. Most FT3 ranges stop at 6.8!

For FT4, 14.8 sounds rather low. But, again, without the ranges, impossible to say. Always, always include the ranges.
