Been on 137mcg Levothyroxine @ 25 years. Only real problem was when PCP decided to suddenly drop dosage two increments, to 112mcg. Fingers were cold, depression escalated. Anxiety, nervousness escalated so that I lost my job!
Had it put back to 137mcg, with the suggestion that there be a step-up of 125mcg for a month, which was ignored. I seem OK now, after month back on 137mcg.

Thank you one and all for your feedback! I am on 125 mcg, had a TSH done today, and I’m talking to my doctor about possibly adjusting dosage. I’ll keep you posted! Boy am I grateful for this forum! It’s so comforting and educational to “talk” to one another!
