Hi! Anyone taking 225 mcg of levothyroxine? I'm on 150 mcg, but my endo told me to take one tablet and a half two days a week? Can I overdose on that? I'm just scared I guess!

Anyone taking 225 mcg of levothyroxine?

There are members who have been on that dose and more.

I'm on 150 mcg, but my endo told me to take one tablet and a half two days a week?

Can you clarify? Tablets come in different doses so what dose tablets are you talking about?

Can I overdose on that?

That depends on your test results so maybe you can post them along with their reference ranges. You would need to post TSH, Free T4 and Free T3 for us to know if you could possibly overdose.

Not what you're looking for?
