Small medication increase!

[Doris11]

Hi all! I’ve started my slight increase of Levo about a fortnight ago! Now px is 112mcgs a day! ( well every two days I have 125mcgs as it was crumbling when I tried to half the 25mcgs) I don’t feel great 😔 my back pain is worse and I am sleeping in the daytime again? I had two hrs yesterday and slept through the night? Does the increase give you some symptoms? As it feels like I’m back to square one! Do they get worse before they get slightly better ? Many thanks.

which brand on Levo is your 100mcg

Which brand is 25mcg

Yes it common to initially feel worse before you start to see improvement

SlowDragon 100mcgs Accord and 25mcgs Mercury Pharma 😑

It could be the brand

Accord don’t make 25mcg tablets

You could try cutting 100mcg into 1/4’s using sharp scalpel to get 25mcg

Thank you but at the moment I have only 25mcgs ☺️. I guess what I reall y want to know is it better having 12.5 mcgs daily or every other day 25mcgs? Does it affect you T4-T3 coversin etc.. many thanks

Some people find it better to take same dose everyday

Others don’t notice any difference if alternate dose

Easy to cut tablets in half with sharp craft scalpel
