My TSH level was 9.12!!!  So, they raised my dosage to 88mcg of generic Synthroid.  Thanks for the information, I suspect that my hair loss must be from high TSH.  Hopefully, it will come down.

I have seen others here and on another forum say that Levoxyl is better in this regard.

Having said that, however, what is your current TSH and free t4 level?

I notice my hair falls out excessively when my TSH is over 2.
