Medication Question
I have been on thyroid medication for many years and recently had another change in medication because my levels were too low . Doctor switched me from Levothyroxine .15 mgs to 175mcg's. Is this correct -- shouldn't dosage be increased, not decreased? I've also put on 2 pounds and am extremely fatigued since changing.
If your levels were "too low" as you state that would mean your medication would /should be lowered do to medically induced HYPERthyroidism. You show a med increase from 150 to 175
At this time your question is a little confusing.
What is your actual TSH on the last test
What additional testing was done FT3/FT4?
What other symptoms other than 2 pounds do you have along with fatigue?

Did you wrote 0.15 mg? 0.15 mg is the same as 150 mcg, so the Dr. increased (150 mcg to 175) .
He changed your medication for some reason, Did your TSH changed? new symptoms?
