Increase in levo

So today after talking to another GP I have been granted a 25 microgram increase in my levo each day I am over the moon and hoping it helps,As I'm taking almost brand I will have to halve the 50 micrograms each day.

It's a 2 month trail and I have to repeat bloods in 6 weeks

Thanks everyone for all the previous advise

Great news Dawney63! I’ve found it best to wait 8 weeks on a new dose of thyroid medication before retesting levels, as it seems to take me this long to ‘feel the benefit’

I would prefer to wait 8 weeks before having blood tests again , it's been such a battle to get this increase, 6 months.Thank you
