A member asked:

25/50 mcg of levo every other day for 6 mos. t3 (liothyronine) keeps dropping 92 to 87 to 78. ft4 mildly increase from 1.0 to 1.2. tsh increase from 3.76 to 5.9 why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thyroid: The values are what they are most likely because you are not taking enough levothyroxine. Take the 50 every day for a week or two and see what effects that has on you. If none, see your doctor.
