Need more thyroxine: It takes at least 1 month for the TSH to react to any change in daily Thyroxine dose. Work with your treating physician or request a Referal to Endocrinology,to attain a low normal TSH result.

See doctor: Your TSH level suggests insufficient replacement with thyroxine. Please consult your doctor for an adjustment to the dose. It is a life-long need for medication. Wish you good health.
