How long does it take to lower with new does of Synthroid?

by jjtwhip, Mar 19, 2008 08:33PM

Hi, I have a question! How long does it take for your bloodwork to show a decrease in your TSH after an increase in your Synthroid? My TSH was 5.518 two weeks ago.. I was bumped to .075 synthroid and two weeks later my TSH was 4.9. Should it have decreased more drastically or is this normal?

It usual take the body a while to adjust to med level changes. Sometimes it can take at least 6 weeks. Unfotunately, in the thyroid game patience is a necessary evil....something I didn't have much of, but have learned to get some.
