Brief Answer:
About levothyroxine dose;

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
The dose of levothyroxine you are taking is relatively high.
You need to check TSH level in order to judge about the dose of levothyroxine.
We do not adjust the dose according to clinical features but according to hormonal level.
Do not hesitate to attach the result.
Will be a pleasure to help you further.
Best wishes,
