Increase in levo

Hi everyone

Around three weeks ago I had an increase in my levothyroxine to 125mcg from 100. I am not feeling as tired but my legs and feet still ache and feel heavy. Is this a symptom of hypo. I used to think so Is it too soon to be able to feel improvements.

Any help would be appreciated

It can take 6-8 weeks for levels to stabilise after a dose change so yes, it may be too soon to feel the full effects.
