Synthroid dose 125 - test reults - help please

Posted , 9 users are following.

I got my test results back from the doctor and was told that my TSH level is 175 and my T4 free was .4.

Instead of starting me off at a low dose of synthroid at 25 or 50 my doctor said I was going to be started off at 125.

Anyone else start out at a high dose? He said he may have to go up more but didn't want to start out too high.

Were my levels bad?

    I was just diagnosed about 2.5 months ago. My TSH as diagnosis was 65. I started on 25 of Levo. My doc just uped my dosage to 50. My recent blood work showed my TSH has decreased to 7.
