Oops, edited my posted as I miss read the question...sorry, don't know the answer...
I just did a quick check on www.drugstore.com and it looks like they have up to 300mcg
tablets. So I would assume its normal to go up that far, if need be.
Have you been on 175 for very long? It may be that you just need more time to adjust to the higher dosage. Or maybe you would do better on another brand of thyroid medication.
You might want to suggest that to your Dr.
Take care!

Are you seeing an Endo or a family doc?
