Underdosage of Levothyroxine

What if you usually take 275 of Levothyroxine and they dropped you to 75 all at once?  Side effects?

I agree...HUGE drop.  The first thing I'd do is check to make sure someone didn't make a huge mistake.  Check to make sure there was no miscommunication betweeh the doctor's office and the pharmacy.

With that kind of drop, if you're not currently buzzing off the planet hypER, you're most likely going to end up very hypo very soon.

I agree, please post your labs.

Wow, why did they drop your meds so much?  Was it based on symptoms or test results?  Please post your thyroid related test results and their reference ranges shown on the lab report so that members can comment on the adequacy of your testing and treatment.
