Under replaced, need an increase.... but I'd remove this as it has your name on it 🤗

If you feel OK then fine, if not ask for an increase.

Get next dose increase and retest in another 8 weeks

TSH should be under 2 as an absolute maximum when on levothyroxine

Comprehensive list of references for needing LOW TSH on levothyroxine

If symptoms of hypothyroidism persist despite normalisation of TSH, the dose of levothyroxine can be titrated further to place the TSH in the lower part of the reference range or even slightly below (i.e., TSH: 0.1–2.0 mU/L), but avoiding TSH < 0.1 mU/L. Use of alternate day dosing of different levothyroxine strengths may be needed to achieve this (e.g., 100 mcg for 4 days; 125 mcg for 3 days weekly).

I dropped to 50 on two days of the week and now have this

Any suggestions my doctors doesn’t seem to help

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Bobby25]

So go back to 75mcg daily

Retest in 6-8 weeks

Unless extremely petite, likely to need further increases in dose over coming year
