Are you taking Levo on its own, on empty stomach and at least 2 hours away from any other medication
Suggest you request new thyroid and vitamin testing
Recommended that all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally just before 9am, only drink water between waking and test and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test
This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)
High cholesterol suggests you may not be on high enough dose Levo
How much do you weigh in kilo
75mcg Levo is low dose unless you’re very petite
What vitamin supplements are you taking if any
Bipolar can be associated with autoimmune thyroid disease also called Hashimoto’s
