Shall I Continue Taking Thyrox 150?

I am on thyrox 100 since 2004. My T3, T4 and TSH levels were normal. In Jan 2014 I felt i was putting more weight. My values were FT3 - 2.55 pg/ml, FT4 - 1.02 ng/dl and TSH - 13.13. My family physician asked me to take thyrox 150. Now my TSH IS O.33. What should I do now? Kindly advise.

Good day ,

Noted your concern.
You had TSH of 13.13 while taking 100 mcg Thyrox. This means that you were under replaced. Were you taking medicines daily?? Current TSH looks good, but based on your age, we may need to modify the dose.

You may please attach the thyroid blood reports, your age, other comorbid conditions to
