How much Shyntroid or Levoxyl makes you feel normal or almost normal ?
This question for people after  TT due to Thyca. I can not find my right dosage yet. I am 5'3" and 185 pounds.
Thanks for any input.

Im 1.85m and 75kg and it is starting to get right to where i feel good. I'm probably will be lowering my dosage soon. I'm on 150mcg of synthroid and expect that my dosage should be 125mcg and my last TSH was 0.06.

to directly answer your question I was feeling pretty normal on 75-88mcgs of Synthroid and they upped it only to accomodate the TSH # below 1.0 and no change in "feeling good or bad between the 75 and 100mcgs".

I am 5'10" 190 lbs .. 100mcgs of Synthroid with TSH of 0.669 for cancer supression therapy.

Had partial in Jan 07 and started to feel good I''d say in March and great in April and then tweeking it along to get a TSH <1.0 as our goal for Ca Supression.

BTW, my partial is the same as a TT since the other side is not functioning since the surgery; they say it happens 30% of the time.

I'm just under 5'6" and 130lbs and at 100mcg of Levoxyl I feel pretty good energy wise (I can always sleep if given the opportunity, but that's not new!).  I have other complaints like hairloss and joint achiness, but I can't say for sure that it's related to the T4 therapy.  My TT ended up being benign at pathology.  My TSH was 1.03 at last check.
