Synthroid

[Khy 16]

I am wondering if as I lose weight with the sleeve, will my synthroid dose change? I am taking 0.2mg daily. Will I need less when I weigh less or does this tend to be a static thing? What has everyone else's experience been?

I will be six months out in another week. My dose remained the same when my TSH was checked at 3 months--I'll have another done next week. My PCP expects the dosage to decrease as I lose, we already talked about it which is why I'm getting tested every three months.

Same here as Foxbins. My TSH will get checked in a couple of weeks, and we'll see if we have to adjust the dose. My PCP said we might have to lower the dose, but I'll believe that when I see it, as difficult as it was to get the thing regulated in the first place!!

For me, in the past when I have lost weight my dose always went down. Then when I gained the weight back it went back up. I am getting my levels checked next week and I think my dose will need to be lowered. I am pretty in tune with my body and I am feeling my heart race sometimes and I have been itchy. That is usually the sign that the dose needs to be lowered. When I start to lose my hair and eye brows I need a higher dose.
