I would contact your NP to get some labs done to see where your levels are at, even though it's only been 3 weeks. If it's working, your levels should be heading in the right direction (TSH going down).
Hang in there! It can take some time, but you'll get on the right dose and feeling great soon!!
Cynthia | I am taking it without food, only because the directions tell me to take it 1/2 hour to 1 hour before eating anything.
I'm having blood work on Monday to see if my levels have changed at all. She'll then decide if my dose needs to be increased. I'll ask her if I can start taking it with food. |
