Yes- may be too much: It looks like you're level's too high.I base this on the high FT4 more than the low TSH (adequate treatment often causes a low TSH). But it's unusual for such a low dose of Thryroxine to cause a high T4 so you may have thyroiditis,which can cause your thyroid to swing from under to overactive. Ask your Dr. to check thyroid antibodies.Ask your Dr. if you should stop.See http://tinyurl.com/yyb44eql
