may I come back to this? Raising my dose of Levo from 75 to 200mcg - at what intervals of time can I add 25mcg?
I guess 50mcg inceases would be too much?

If you've been comatose all day, there's a reason for that... I don't think you should increase by that much at one time...

Since it takes 4-6 weeks for a T4 medication to reach full potential in your blood, one dose of 50 mcg isn't going to hurt you, but please don't increase that much every day, because you have medical issues that could cause you harm if your levels get too high.

You've been at 75 mcg, so with the blessing of your doctor, only increase to 100 mcg and stay there for 4-6 week, then retest, post your levels and go from there.  

Don't go comatose on us again, ok?

Thank you. I increased by 50mcg this morning before seeing your posts. I've been comatose all day for some reason, No pains or alarms though.....       .and my apologies on the threads. I'll watch for it next ttime. Bless

Sorry, yes, you can keep coming back to the subject, but it would be helpful if you would also keep coming back to the same thread ... this one, so we can keep up with you, instead of posting a new one each time ... lol

You can increase 25 mcg, then wait 6 weeks, retest and see what your levels are before increasing again... never increase without retesting, first.

And don't forget that when you get close to your "target" dose, you may have to increase less than 25 mcg at a time, which means you might have to alternate dosages or split pills to do it.

You're posting too  many threads and we can't keep up with them.  You should keep adding to one of the threads you've already posted.  Didn't you see the responses I posted, earlier, on either of your other threads?
