The dose increase may have been too much or too quick for your individual system.  If you weren't having the over-stimulation symptoms on 100mcg then consider trying the 112mcg dose for 6 weeks and re-evaluating.  The fullness in the throat can be evaluated with thyroid ultrasound to make sure there is not enlargement/nodules there.

thank you!
so the increase of need to swalow is part of this?
thanks

Can you please answer a question?  I was put on meds for my thyroid. tsh level 46.13 / t4 3.7 /  t-uptake 31-  the 24 hr uptake level 6%. I am taking levothyroxine 75mcg ta sand. I was reading some of the stuff people were writing and want to know will it be hard for me to loose weight ( I am overweight now) will I always be overweight, is there anything I can do. My dr said i have to take  meds forever. I did not think it  was a big deal,  now i am getting worried after reading  stuff on this site. the dr said my liver level were high, is this a connected

I was put on Levoxyl 25 microgram.  After about 1 month, suddenly my abdomen and legs are extremely swollen.  I had no energy and felt extremely tired.

I had never felt this way before the Levxoyl prescription.  I stopped the med because it made me feel a lot worse than before the med.  My tsh was 8.3

I had stopped the med for 2 months now.  My abdomen and legs are
still extremely swollen.

Does anyone have similar experience?

Thanks.
