Hi,

I have gone carefully through your concern and understood your query. Reducing the dose of the thyroid hormones (more than necessary) can be associated with symptoms of hypothyroidism:

- Fatigue, weakness, feeling sleepy, constipation

If you do not notice any change from outside (increase of the gland or nodule that has not been before) than there is no need to get worried. Check the TSH level, 6 weeks after changing the dose.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best wishes,
Dr. Mirjeta
