In my opinion yes your doctor should prescribe more
Good Luck
For me if you are symptomless now no need to change the dose now..
Thanks.
hi
TSH is elevated but T3 and T4 are normal.
If all are deranged then you should change the dose.
At present,there is no need to change the dose.
thanks
HI
LITTLE BIT MORE OF SYNTHROID WON’T CAUSE ANY HARM BUT I DO NOT THINK IT IS PRESENTLY NEEDED ACTUALLY.
YOU CAN REPEAT THE TEST AFTER 3 MONTHS AND THEN DECIDE.
hello there,
i don’t think there is any need to increase synthroid at this moment.
except TSH,other levels are well within normal range.
