Maintenance Dose of NP Thyroid?

[arabianhorselover]

Just wondering how much most people have ended up taking as a maintenance dose.  I have been taking 1.5 of the 90 mg tablets per day, but now I realize I need more since my outer eyebrows are going away again.

Did you have hyper symptoms, or was your thought that you had taken too much only due to TSH level?

When you get results, you can post them here and we can help you figure out whether your dose might be optimal or not...

Forgot I had even posted here.  I raised my dose on my own, and then ended up taking too much.  Have to wait to get tested again.

I haven't had labs done for quite a while, so am planning to have it done.

Everyone is very different, so the doses other people end up on, really have no bearing on what your dose should be.  It all depends on the dose that works best to alleviate your symptoms.  

If you have recent test results you can post, we can help you determine whether or not you might need a higher dose, based on your Free T3 and Free T4 results, as well as symptoms.  Be sure to post reference ranges with any results, since ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own reports.
