      Michele123, OMG! That's so nutty about the prescription. Boy the posts today really say it all. We've all been through it with the autoimmune disease, chronic illness, crazy prescriptions and doctors.

    Hi Tl72, Yes, MtnViewCatherine is dead right. It is basically your DOSE. Increase it in tiny steps and if you hit 150 mcg and you still feel horrible give up on Levo and try an NDT (that is a Natural Dessicated Thyroid). But, if you are new to this, read up on everything you can to educate yourself to the whole thyroid world. Study it as if your life depended upon it because your feeling of well being certainly will.
