If you do as the doctor says, you would be decreasing your dose by 125 micrograms per week. If you decrease the daily dose by 25 micrograms, you would decrease the weekly dose by 175 micrograms per week, which is 50 micrograms more per week. So, it may be enough to decrease by 125 micrograms but, if you don’t trust your doctor, perhaps you should see an endocrine doctor for another opinion.
