Keep checking TSH: We recommend checking TSH every 6wks or so after change in Levothyroxine dose until at least 2 in a row are consistent. Presumably your TSH dropped from 218 down to 2.2 in 3 months on Eltroxin (http://www.drugs.com/sfx/eltroxin-side-effects.html) so you're overdue for recheck. We don't want to give you too much medication & cause hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) by accident.
