very small dose of levothyoxine

[mitchell66]

I have read in a few places that a trial of 25mg of Levothyroxine can make things worse. Can anyone explain this to me. Think my doc did this to make me go away

This is an excerpt and cursor down to the question dated April 22, 2007:-

It’s tragic that millions of patients such as yourself suffer needlessly for years because their doctors prescribe extremely small doses of T4 products. I advise all patients such as you to persuade their doctors to prescribe a product that contains both T4 and T3, such as Armour or Thyrolar. I also advise them to see to it—one way or another—that they take a high enough dose for it to be effective. Otherwise, the patients are almost certain to continue suffering.
