levoxyl dosages

Hello everyone,
My endo is trying me on .112 one day and .125 the next. I've been on this regimen for about 3 1/2 weeks. One is too low and the other too high. I feel as if on a roller coaster and hopefully will level out soon. Does anyone have this mixture and if so are the results positive? Have been hypo for 12 years and had 1/2 of my thyroid removed leaving the other w/goiter. No energy and a host of other unpleasent symptoms. Thanks and good luck to all of you.

Re: levoxyl dosages

It's not uncommon to have alternating doses of T4 meds such as Levoxyl.

Your labs would provide a much better indication as to whether or not the new dosing regimen is appropriate.

Hopefully, your doctor has been checking your FreeT4 and FreeT3 levels.

If you have some recent labs to share, you can post the results here for interpretation. Please be sure to post the reference ranges since they vary from lab to lab and your result can only be properly interpreted within the context of your lab's ranges.

Re: levoxyl dosages

Thank you Sammy,
I have to wait 3 more weeks until I can do blood work. I'm somewhat confident it will work out but until I level out, it hasn't been fun. Just wanted to know if this regimen was commonplace. Thank you very much. Tired one day, wired the next. It's a real party, ha ha. Thanks again.
