Slightly elevated TSH levels

2019-07-09 13:15:05
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism almost 3 years back. Was prescribed medications. However over that past 18 months, my TSH levels were normal (less than 3) due to which I did not take the medication regularly. 2 months ago due to my inability to lose weight, I again restarted on 25mcg and now my T3, and T4 are normal while my TSH is slightly elevated (5.5). Should I increase my dosage to 50 mcg?
