That comes to 125mcg (1.25mg) which is a high dose to start off with.
Which means you are taking 1 x 100MCG tablet plus 1/4 of a tablet daily?(total 125MCG and not MG).
Can you post your reference ranges on the FT3 and FT4 as they are different worldwide?
Yes..you have all the signs of being Hypo but I still think a ower dose of T4 med should be started first.
I still think 125mcg is too high for a starting dose.
maybe others can post their opinion.
I agree that 125 mcg/day is too much to start with. My doctor started me on 25 mcg/day and increased it by 25 mcg/week until I got to 100. Working up slowly may help you tolerate the med easier.
What was your FT3 and FT4?
Normal starting dose is 50mcg.
Be careful you dont go hyper on that dose....I would be questioning the dose with your Doctor as your TSH is not that high to warrant that dosage.
Let us know how you go.
