Advice on increase

[ter1461]

I am on Tirosint T4 which I get from Germany and am looking to increase to either 75mcg or 100 but unsure what to do as I only have 50mcg tablets. No chance of getting any more atm for some time. I have posted below my latest bloods on 50mcg dose. I’m not feeling good and believe I need to increase so thinking could I dose 50mcg and 100mcg every other day or just increase to 100mcg and see how I go?

I’m also looking at possibly adding some T3 in at some point also but wanted to get the t4 sorted first.

Any advice appreciated thanks

Tsh 1.25. (.55-4.28)

Ft4. 16.6. (11.45-22.65)

Ft3. 4.0. (3.5-6.5)

You shouldn't go up by more than 25 mcg at a time. So, either cut one of the 50s in half and take 75 mcg a day, or alternate 50/100.

Your labs show that you do need an increase in levo. But, they also show that your conversion is pretty good, so probably no need for T3.

Ok so to alter 100/50 every day is ok then?

Yes, plenty of people do it that way.
