My endo who treats me had recommended a daily eurthyrox dosage of 125mcg but i also got a second opinion and checked with endo who treated me previously and he recommended 125mcg for 05days and 175 for 02days .Please advise based on my reports which is a good dosage to take
Correct I was taking 125mcg for 5days & 175mcg for 02 days .My endo suggested to reduce and make the dosage for 125mcg and see after two months and re test .Please advise if that is right way forward
No, I don't think reducing your Levothyroxine is the right way forward. Your TSH is too high for a treated hypothyroid patient and is higher than average for a healthy person with no known thyroid disease. Your Free T4 is quite low and your Free T3 is actually not too bad - but you might want to increase it slightly.
Taking 125mcg for 5 days and 175mcg for 2 days averages out as a daily dose of approximately 140mcg per day. (Bearing in mind that I have no medical training) I would suggest raising your dose to 150mcg every day, then test in 6 - 8 weeks. It's only a small increase but it may be all you need. You haven't mentioned your symptoms so I'm assuming you still feel hypothyroid. Based purely on your results I would say you are approaching the fine-tuning point of your treatment and big adjustments should be avoided. But reducing your dose - definitely not a good idea.
