I've been in hypothyroidism for 13 years (auto-immune disease that attacks my thyroid). Over the years, the doctor had to increase the doses of Levothyrox to have a TSH roughly in the norm. Since March, at 175 ug, my rate was OK, but I had palpitations, a very fast pulse and felt nervous fatigue with difficulty in falling asleep. I went down to 150 ug in May; The palpitations have disappeared but have appeared the diurnal and nocturnal cramps with muscular fatigue and pains all over the body. After three months, TSH is at 6. My doctor just increased the dose 162.5 UG (1 tablet at 150 ug + 1/2 tablet at 25g; not very practical and approximate dosage due to score of the tablet) and we're taking a blood test in a month. It is difficult to find an adequate dosage and the change in formulation of the Levothyrox seems to me to be rather complicated than facilitated the life of patients.
