To increase or not yet?

Morning,Just want to check what you all think.

I'm trying to get from 75mcg levo - 100. Went straight for it in April and the anxiety was too much after a few weeks

Came back to 75mcg, tested after 6 weeks (will attach results)

Based on this and your advice (Buddy) I have been going slower and tried 87.5mcg daily. This has been much better. Less anxious and some good days. I'm now on week 5 + 4 days and not having a great week. Feel more tired and sort of unwell.

Had an appointment work the Thyroid Clinic yesterday who agreed I'm under medicated and have put me up to 100mcg. Starting straight away.

I'm not sure whether to give the 87.5mcg time to settle a bit more or just to step up now to 100mcg?
