@shirley74 my levothyroxine is 75 MCG and I split one and take the half pills 2x per week…I have OP…. But am aware that cancer treatments can also affect bones…docs holding off on OP meds so I can use my cancer recovery energy to do very good PT, exercises, walking— plus good supplements and a few dietary adjustments… levothyroxine is a very important med and people have to be careful what other meds work okay with it…timing of supplements is important , no calcium supplements within 4 hours of taking levothyroxine.

The dose of levothyroxine is too high if the TSH is in the low range. If your numbers consistently are in the normal range, you are on the correct dose:)
