A member asked:
Tsh was 7.21. synthroid (thyroxine) increased from .1 mcg/day to .1 mcg x 6 days and .150 mcg 7th day. can tsh decrease to 4 in 2 weeks of treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Feasible: It may decrease as you described. It is generally not a good idea to aim for too fast a change as it takes a few weeks for the system to come to a balance on change of dose.
