Cutting back dose of Levo

Hello, I have a quick question for knowledgable people! I believe I am having a Hash flare up or am overmedicated - not sure which. Am I able to cut my dose of Levo back from 75mg every day to alternating between 50mg and 75mg? Not sure if it matters not having the same dose every day. I am nervous about cutting back too much as I don't want to get a load of Hypo symptoms again. Thanks in advance

Sorry you are not feeling good. Have another read through your post and thread of a couple of days - perhaps there is something there to reassure you. You are not over medicated if your T3 is in range as mentioned by Clutter ..... Lots of good advice in the thread :-)

LOUPS,

If you feel overmedicated on 75mcg it is fine to reduce dose to 50mcg/75mcg alternate days. If you start to feel hypothyroid just reinstate 75mcg.

Thanks very much. I have taken on board all you have advised. I am seeing the doctor this afternoon to hopefully get a free T3. I am feeling overmedicated at the moment, so will try just cutting the dose a little.
