There is no reason: That you would need to do this. Hypothyroidism is a chronic disease. The TSH will be used to monitor your needs. It modulates over 8-12 weeks, so no need to be in a hurry for a dose change, and for sure do not mix drugs. Make sure your doc knows what you are putting in your body.
