Regarding Thyroid
Hi all Doctors,
I am non pregnant woman and was prescribed Thyroxine (ELTROXIN) 50mcg thyroid tablets 2 years ago and I was using the same from 2 years regularly.
But recently, i started feeling irritated, sleeplessness & anxiety, tremors as well so when researched in Google I found the symptoms may be due to over dosage of thyroxine.
Also it was found that low t3 levels are cause of depression as well.
So I stopped thyroid tablets for 3 days and went to clinic for test and my report was as below.
As On 03.03.25 - T3-1.42, T4-13.60, TSH - 3.05
My T3 increased , T4 decreased and TSH also increased.
My detailed thyroid reports are as below.
As On 06.02.25 - T3-0.74, T4-14.57, TSH - 1.26
As On 17.09.24- T3-0.83, T4-10.64, TSH-1.879
As On 06.10.23 - T3-1.01, T4-7.51, TSH - 7.302
So kindly look into the detailed report thoroughly and kindly let me know if I should lower the dosage of thyroid or stop taking the same as after not taking thyroid tablets my t3 levels increased

Based on Ur Feb report and symptoms, U can take a trial and reduce your dose to 37.5.
get a repeat test done after 4-6 weeks, with overnight fasting and sample to be collected between 6-8 AM preferably.
If TSH remains between 1-3 , u can continue same dose. If not, dose adjustment can be done based on results. However, this time dont stop your medication abruptly before testing.
Also get your CBC, Vit D, Vit B12 and S. Ca2+ levels checked.

Never stop any medication without consulting your physician.
Also, you should have gradually stopped taking thyroxine by decreasing its doses.
Repeat your thyroid profile again after 15 days for a definite diagnosis ( i.e whether you have hypothyroidism or not)
Next Steps
Share your recent blood report.
