My current dosage of Eurthyrox is 06days 150mcg and 1 day 100mcg I did my Thyroid function test and was disappointed I came back with a figure of TSH 6.09 The FT3 and FT 4 was within range What do you suggest I do to get my TSH back on track If there is endo Kindly suggest a revised dosage I attached my report

Hi vakilzf—actually, you didn’t attach the report.

Could you add it—or if you can’t figure out how, tell us what your FT4 and FT3 results were (plus their laboratory reference ranges—we need those to be able to interpret).

There are no endos on here, this is a patient-to-patient support group.

So, your TSH is saying that you are under-medicated. What were the exact numbers for the FT4 and FT3 - results and ranges? Because just telling us they were in-range tells us nothing. I should imagine they were quite low in-range given that TSH.

And the only way to bring the TSH down, is to bring the Frees up.

No-one can tell you what your 'revised' dose should be, you have to continue with the protocol - increase by 25 mcg every six weeks - until your numbers are where you need them to be to make you well. I imagine you're feeling quite rough at the moment, aren't you?
