New rx is more than doubled?
| Thu, 09-21-2006 - 6:54pm |
I have been on 62.5mcg of synthyroid for about 8 weeks. I knew it wasn't making a differance. Got my test results back today my TSH is up to 4.48(from 3.2) don't remember what my t4 was but it was a little off the norm.
Doctor prescribed 137mcg of synthryoid! I was wondering if this big of an increas is normal? I also got to thinking about it and in July he had given me the 125mcg dose sample to cut in half(62.5)maybe he didn't note the cut in half part on my file?
Of course the office is closed right now, I'll call tomorrow. Just nervous about taking such a jump in dosage.

Hi Dana,
That does seem like a big jump in the dose but I'm not on synthroid so I honestly don't know.
It was to big of a jump. He didn't have it noted that I was cutting the 125mcg in half. So they changed the rx to 75mcg.

Hi Dana,
That makes more sense.
