A member asked:

I have been on a 50 mcg dose of levothyroxine for two weeks. during this time i have also gained 10 lbs. are these two related? previously on 25 mcg.

No: It is unlikely that an increase in thyroid hormone is causing your weight gain. If anything, 50mcg of levothyroxine would be more likely to make you lose weight than 25 mcg.
