For 13yrs I took 200mcg, but it has been lowered in the past 3yrs to 125mcg. Right now 125mcg is what I need to be taking to keep my TSH at 1.0 or a little below.
I had a TT 15 yrs ago.
It all depends on the individual, not everyone is the same "in medicine dosage". Your doctor should go by your TSH / T3 / T4 levels.
Hi,
the correct dose is the one that gives correct levels. I am on 125 mcg of thyrax (T4) and 155 mcg of dessicated thyroid. This is approximately equivalent to about 375 mcg of T4 alone (60 mcg of dessicated approx. = 100 mcg of T4). A very high dose. But that is what it takes to get my levels where they should be and to feel ok.
So guess you have to keep testing and adjusting to get where you need to be.
