What Should I Do For The TSH Level?

Hi
I had a total thyroidectmy September 2012 and have been on euthyrox 125 since. The results of my latest blood test said my TSH is 0.09 but my T3 is in mid range and my T4 is in the higher end. As my TSH is low should I be on a different amount of euthyrox?

Hello,
Good day.
It is important to know your weight as we calculate the dose of Euthyrox based on your weight. As your TSH is suppressed below normal value, it is advisable that you can reduce the dose to 100 mcg and then recheck Free T4 and TSH ( fasting) after 6 weeks if changing the dose
