Is It Normal To Have Elevated TSH Levels While On Nature-Throid?
I was taking 137 mcg of levothyroxine and have changed dr's and been prescribed 64 mcg of nature throid but still having high TSH readings, I was wondering if that is normal and my body is still adjusting to new meds.. I cant find an accurate chart online that compares the 2 meds as in dosing comparisons

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dosing may be vary depending on the weight, auto antibodies to thyroid peroxide or present of goitrogen in the food etc.
Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is?.
But don't increase the dose that much give big side effects.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
