HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The amount of thyroxine replacement medication needed varies from person to person.
It would be difficult to say exactly how much of this medication you would need to reach appropriate levels of thyroid hormone.
If you are constipated, feeling cold and tired , then it is possible that the medication needs to be increased.
I hope this helps
