Kitty.... you have just started Synthroid at 25mcg dose.

This is done for at least a month or two, and then there is a retest. One cannot start thyroid safely at a high dose, as the body has to get used to it.

You want a high dose now, and that may not be in your best interest. I started at the low dose and it took a year to get to my 75mcg maintenance.

Trying to do this yourself, is not safe or wise. That is just how thyroid treatment is done. You are trying to rush a body system based on YOUR ideas, not on the medical protocols for safety.
