The target tsh levels in a case of patients on treatment forhypothyroidism is 1-2 mu/l. So, you are suboptimally treated. You need to hike up your thyroxine dose under the supervision of your doctor to achieve that target. Make sure that you take tab. Thyroxine preferably empty stomach 1 hr. Before breakfast or otherwise at least 2.5 hrs after dinner.
