Synthroid dose
by karenscar, Oct 09, 2009 06:50PM
Hi. I know that they say it takes 6-8 weeks for a specific dose of Synthroid to stabilize, but I have a question. My TSH was 16. I was on Synthroid 100, and my doctor raised it to 112 mg. My TSH after two weeks is 7.6. I know that it has ONLY been two weeks, but is it still possible that my TSH will continue to drop on the 112, or is this already a sign that I may need 125 mg. Thank you for your input.

Get yr labs done again after 4-6 weeks.
The lower the TSH...the less hypo symptoms.
I don't think I'd agree to any increases without blood work....... Once you are put on a dosage, you should be checked in 5-6 weeks. Then every time a dosage is changed, your blood work should be checked about 6 weeks later.......there should never be a dosage change without blood work (FT3?FT4/TSH) to support it.
