Question on tsh level: I have been taking thyroid medicine since i was a teenager. Now 49 I was tested with a low thyroid test of .53 almost two months ago. I did take synthyroid .1 and now they have lowered it to .88. Question is, I was told lowering it would make my thyroid levels go up. Seems like that is opposite of what you would think. Does lowering thyroid make it go up, (hopefully). I am suppose to take it for a couple of months to see what the next readings will be. I have been taking the new dose in generic brand for almost two months now, just changed it to the real synthyroid not generic, I can tell a difference. I do exercise every day only gaining weight not losing it.
Just wondering if giving me less thyroid medicine in the long run does help in more energy, and weight loss, while hiring tsh levels. Has anyone had this type of thyroid problem and found lowering it helped to increase your tsh level and you lost weight while gaining more energy?
Thanks,
C
