I'd check with your pharmacy.  25 mg may be a typo on your script bottle.  Synthroid is measured in mcg's.  No one ever takes 25 mg.  The highest dose Synthroid tablets come in is 200 mcg.  Verify with your pharmacy.

25 mcg is a reasonable dose to start at.  It's often best to start out low, which your doctor has you doing, and increase as needed and as tolerated.  When are you scheduled to be retested and re-evaluated?
