When my doc switched me down to 75 mcg of Levoxyl and 10mcg of Cytomel and I get a TSH reading of 6.5, I was a little concerned. I used to take 150mcg of Levoxyl and then one of my Docs backed it down to 125mcg because my TSH went from th 4-5 range down to 3.8
If I follow the advice of many endoDoc's and try to get to a TSH of 1, I will probably be at or over 200mcg of Levoxyl. Is this unusual?
I'm curious as to what other people's T4 and T3 doses are.I'm hoping I can get a Doc to get me down to 1 TSH because I have felt depressed (mainly anhedonia and low energy) since my DX. This was a huge shift in my personality from which I have never fully recovered. It seems to me, if I were treated appropriately, I would return to normal. But of course it's a little hard to get treated appropriately when you have docs that dont know what cytomel is.
