A member asked:
I have been taking 25mcg of levothyroxine for 3 months and still feel very fatigued & sluggish should i feel better by now as my tsh has dropped to 3?

Yes: Tsh preferably should be less than 2 although you shouldn't be very symptomatic at the current level. It's possible that something else could be causing the fatigue and sluggishness. Follow up with your doctor to discuss.
