Did you discuss reducing by just 12.5mcg Levo instead of 25mcg, as this could be too big a reduction ‘in one go’ and be spiking your anxiety?

Good that you are having hormone levels checked 👍

Take care increasing the anti depressant. I hope others can better advise about this.

I would just like to point out that Easter is late this year - in fact it is 7 weeks away. Your doctor may not have realised this.
