Hi, 5 months ago tsh was 150 and total t3 t4 was below range. So I was advised to increase my eltroxin from 100 to 150. 10 days ago my tsh was 0.02 and ft3 and ft4 was above range and the result said Hyperthyroid. I decreased my dosage from 150 to 100 mcg. Still Confused by the result I again went for test and now my tsh is 0.007 and ft3 and ft4 are in normal range. My weight increased from 89 to 93 too. What is happening and what should I do?

Dear lybrate-user. First of all in hypothyroidism you need to monitor the results only after 6 weeks. Not before that. And the increase and decrease in the eltroxin is 25 mg not more than that. I mean it should be slow. Here I advice you for 125 mg dose and continue for 6 weeks and then repeat the thyroid profile test.

Dose of thyroid supplement should be increased graually and should be given sufficient time to monitor TSH, in hypothyroid.
