So you might feel better with a small reduction which could well improve your conversion, what is your current dose?
Hi..my currrent dose is 75 mcg..I was on 100 mcg every other day but I do feel more tired now that I’m just on 75 mcg.
It can take a couple of months for a dose change to settle, are your vits & mins optimized, could it be the seasonal drop in Vit D needs a top up?
Compared to your last results on 75/100

free T4..level 23.0 pro/lL (12.0-22.0) above high ref limit
Serum tsh level..0.05 mix/L (0.3-5.5)
Free t3.. level 5.5 pmol/L (3.1-6.8
The decrease hasn't had a dramatic effect on your levels
So do I need to reduce the level again..I think I felt better on the higher level but have had a lot more stress lately so that could be the tiredness and not sleeping so well. Do you think my dr will lower the dose to 50 mcg. I know you can’t say for definite but just wondering what will happen when I do see her. Yes I do take vit d and multivits every day. Thanks
I'd probably say hold tight where you are until everything else settles down... if the Dr requests a further reduction I would refuse and then when things have settled if you want to make a very small reduction like 5 x 75 and 2 x 50 a week without the Dr breathing down your neck you can do it when you feel up to it 🤗
was test done as recommended…..early morning, ideally before 9am, only drinking water between waking up and test ….and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test
Which brand level are you taking
Do you always get same brand at each prescription
Exactly what vitamin supplements are you taking
Yes test was at 8.50 am..I take levothyroxine at night before bed. I take a multivit. Vit d..b12 spray. Vit b. And lunch time. Fish oil,,vit c coloetmin and probiotic calcium.. teatime magnesium and statin.
I take Melissa dream sometimes at bedtime and then levothyroxine.
Thankyou

Are you lactose intolerant that you are taking Teva?
Teva upsets many people
Do you always get Teva?
Tried any other brands
No I’m gluten intolerant … yes I have had different brands..no probs there
.I take levothyroxine at night before bed.
If you normally take levothyroxine at bedtime/in night ...adjust timings as follows prior to blood test otherwise last dose levothyroxine is too close to blood draw and Ft4 result will be falsely high
If testing Monday morning, delay Saturday evening dose levothyroxine until Sunday morning. Delay Sunday evening dose levothyroxine until after blood test on Monday morning. Take Monday evening dose levothyroxine as per normal
Did you adjust dose so that last dose was 24 hours before test
Multivitamins never recommended on here, as they almost always contain iodine. Your levothyroxine contains all the iodine you need
I take Melissa dream sometimes at bedtime and then levothyroxine.
Levothyroxine should always be at least 2 hours away from any other medication or supplement
Ok..thanks for your advice…will follow.
No I didn’t adjust the dose before my last test.
Free T4 (fT4) 21.9 pmol/L (12 - 22) 99.0%
Free T3 (fT3) 5.2 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8) 56.8%
So Ft4 is not actually as high as test result suggests
If had left 24 hours…..Ft4 would have been lower…..perhaps 18-19
And what would that mean..I don’t understand the meanings
If you had adjusted last dose levothyroxine to be 24 hours before test Ft4 result would have been lower …..so Ft4 is probably not too high
I’ll make sure I do on my next blood test but I won’t be having one before I see the dr in three weeks so not sure what she’ll say.
