Sometimes as you start on medication your thyroid takes a big sigh of relief and slows down more. This seems like a bad thing but in reality you want your thyroid to slow down a little so that any swelling it was doing stops, and any antibody response your body was gearing up for it will calm down.

What this means though is that you could need a raise in medication after your initial dose.

Your doctor should test you again in 6 weeks to see how your numbers look on this dose. If they are still not optimized your doc should raise your meds and test again in another 6 weeks.

It can take a while to get meds optimized, and then it can take a while for your body to really heal from the effects of being hypothyroid... for me it took about a year for me to really bounce back.
