I have been taking for 2 years 0.25 mcg of levothyroxine sodium only to be able to get pregnant. a doctor now raised the dose up to 0.50 mcg and i have heart rate 110 to 150, feel faint and sweat profusely, is it safe to go back to 0.25 mcg?

Let the prescribing physician guide you in reducing the dose as he/she knows results of your labs and your medical history.
