I’m on levothyroxine too. For TSH suppression therapy. I gained some weight so the dose had to be adjusted.

Initially , I was being seen every 3 months with ultrasound and lab checks then 6 months and now yearly and my tirosint adjusted accordingly with the results of the tsh level . I know when it’s high as I cannot sleep , sometimes for more than 48 hours and my brain gets convoluted . I call my endocrinologist and orders the tsh level and she adjust it accordingly .
