    This is a good way to find a dose between two, when you need it ~ I did it one time and it worked for me. It builds up in your system over time, so taking doses on different days doesn’t result in feeling "up" one day and "down" the next, it really does end up getting you to the level in between. Sometimes you can do it other ways, though ~ right now I just take half a pill on Sundays, and the result is the same. It depends on the doses you’re "between," whether that works exactly right or not. You may be able to make some different adjustment, or just go ahead and take the alternating doses. The thing I like about the half-pill on Sunday is that I don’t need to manage two different prescription bottles. Speaking from experience, make some method to remember which day it is, and which pill you’re supposed to take that morning….

    Hi there,

    I’ve been struggling to get a dosage that works for me. I’m hypothyroid when taking 88mcg and hyperthyroid when taking 100mcg. Does anyone have experience with alternating doses? I am going to see an endocrinologist but that may be quite a wait to be seen. Any feedback would be great.

    Thanks,
    Carla

    Yes — my endo decided to "tweak" my dose of replacement to hitch it up a notch just recently. I am to take one dose four days a week and another dose three days a week. I got one of those weekly pill containers to keep track of things.

    My endo has me on 100mcg for 5 days and 112mcg for 2 days. Previously she alternated days 110mcg one day, next day 112mcg , that was to much and made me hyper. So far the new change seems to be working.
