low tsh,prescribed higher mcg of levothyroxine

[estelle79]

I've been having a problem with my levels for a long time . My levels have always been labile. For the last 7-plus months I've been taking 125 mcg of levothyroxine. . Yesterday the Dr at the health dept , increased my dose to 137mcg. I gently questioned that,but that's what she gave me. Shouldn't the dose have been lowered?

Are you having hyper symptoms?

[laura1967]

Well it certainly does look like you are on your way to being hyperthyroid. Your TSH is low..normal values are now .30-3.0. Most patients feel best around a 1.0. Is your T4 a free or total? All totals are outdated and the Frees show the active forms of both T4 and T3. Uptake are a waste of money and senseless for routine labs. I have no idea what your FTI is??  Your T4 lab is definately on the verge of over the high limits.  I think you should call and revisit these labs with a doctor. Don't be afraid to say, "Heh, this is my life and health, and I am on too much medicine!" Go over the ranges with her and ask her for what you want.
