I’m taking 2 different doses of synthroid my doctor has me on right now, and it’s really complicated.

He has me on 137 mg, 7 days a week, with 25 mg combined with the 137, 5 days a week.

Now he’s also wanting to drop that 25 mg another 2 days a week, so I would only be taking the 25 mg, 3 times a week, instead of 5 like I am currently taking.

I am worried about dropping the other two 25s which would equal a 50 mg lower dosage per week, because last time he did this my tsh levels went through the roof and were too high and he had to add more dosage.

I have talked to other doctors today and they say my reading of .103 is very low and .040 was extremely low and I just don’t know whether a sudden 50 mg drop like that would be wise, especially since he just cut out two of my 25s from taking them everyday with my 137s, not even 2 months ago.

It’s like my new dosage IS making my numbers go up but it just got changed recently and needs some time and it seems my doctor may be wanting rapid results, and while I feel comfortable possibly dropping another 25 mg pill for the 4th day I take the 25s, I do not feel that comfortable dropping a second one taking that mg drop to 50 mg.
