so I was diagnosed with hoshimotos at age 9. I had a goiter. Took Synthoid until levothyroxine became available. My TSH slipped to (.11) out of the normal (.3 - 5.5) range. I was on 112 MCG and now switched to 100 MCG. I have gained 10 lbs int he last 9 months. I'm now 5'5" and 138 lbs. I have constipation, diarrhea, bloating, really bad gas, heat flashed and sweats. Was it right for my dose to be lowered? Should I go back to real Synthroid?
