Hi lybrate-user actually the starting dose 150 mcg for eltroxin is too high. It should have been started from a low dose then to recheck the levels after 1-2 wks to increase dose if needed. Now definitely you need to reduce the dose. Better consult an endocrinologist for better management of the condition.
