Hi,
Your recent T3 is 76, so your dose should be increased. Increments of 25 mcg every 2-4 weeks is recommended with your initial dose of 100 mcg/day until the desired effect is achieved. You should take 125 mcg/day. So, you should undergo again thyroid function test within 2-4 weeks for the adjustment of the dose of Thyrox.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
