Started synthroid (thyroxine) 75mg blood tests showed tsh went from 47.2 down to 11.1. do you think increased dosage necessary?

Likely: That TSH while much better is still elevated. Talk with your regular physician about your symptoms and any other testing they have done.

Yes - Increase dose: Your TSH is still elevated - although improved. A slightly higher dose of Synthroid (thyroxine), (thyroxine) ie 0.1 mg is recommended. Follow up with your Doctor and have the lab tests repeated after you have been on the new dose of Synthroid (thyroxine) for several weeks.
