I am at 75 mcg Levothyroxine with a TSH of 0.3. Doc says it is the lowest allowable dose given the TSH. I feel I need at least 100 mcg.

What is your TSH and dosage if you are taking Levo only? At what TSH did you find losing weight to be not a struggle?

    Hi! I was up to 125 on levothyroxine. He told you 75 was the lowest? it's not. well now i'm on armour. I was also herbs for 6 months but that didn't help since mine is primary now. but levothyroxine does not have t4 and t3.....so that's why i'm on armour only for a month now. how long have you been on levothyroxine.

    I'm officially on 175 of levo and my tsh has to be completely suppressed for me to feel good.
    I trialled t3 and didn't get on with it.
    I. Now take 200 of levo and feel great. Will tell my gp when I see her.

    200 of levo?that a crazy high dose. do you have a thyroid or is it removed/completely non functional?
