dosage question

I started taking levothyroxine again about 3 weeks ago again and have felt really terrible ever since.For whatever reason i have been not my outgoing energitic self. But really, really way to calm and relaxed. But i have also been like  zombie because i was so tired as well.My tsh was 2.17 on.050 of levothyroxine and now the endo wants me to go to go up to .075 of synthroid. Does that sound like to much for my tsh?.I dont want to give myself a heart attack or anything. But im still exausted all day at the dosage im at.Even after 7-8 hours of sleep.

I agree
with Cynnieb

:o)

Give it a few more weeks. It sounds like you are feeling the effects of being hypo. It takes your body a while to catch up.

Nope, your sounding a lot like me right now! I would try the 75, and see how you feel. I don't think that you will have a problem on it. I felt good on 75 in the beginning, and she was worried, so she brought me back down. You won't be able to sleep if you go hyper. keep in mind some of use feel a llittle better hyper than hypo. You will know in a week, or maybe right away if the dose is too high
