I recently moved temporarily to the U.S. and had my dose reduced from 100/125 mg on alternate days to 88mcg daily. I have had a weight gain of 15lbs but the Dr insists the new dose is correct as per my blood test. I don't think the U.S. And UK have such different guidelines. Does anyone have advice or similar experience. TSH 1.32, T4 free1.1, T3 free 2.5. Thanks.

And Ali, I sure hope you can get better. The dose you are on now may be too low. Not sure why they don't listen and consider the symptoms along with the lab work. It's a mystery... :-) Best wishes to you, maybe a different doctor will help.

Just a question to shellyC19 is weight gain a sign of a too low levo?

You did not put your reference ranges on for the Ft4 and FT3 in my opinion they look too low and there is room for an increase in your levo, even if only for a 3 month trial to see how your symptoms go. Doctor should not lower dose when you are feeling well, stand your ground and if they wont listen then move on find another dr.
