Dr prescribed starting dose 50mcg thyroxine but some confusion i have taken 25mcg over 20day then feel mistake & stop 25mcg what time gap for 50mcg?

Thyroid: Start right away. Just remember that it takes a good 6 weeks on the same dose for the body to get in equilibrium with a new thyroid dose. So don't get tested before that or you may be put on the wrong dose at follow up.
