Hi,

I am so sorry to hear about these difficulties with your weight. Do you have any other hypothyroidism related symptoms like constipation, dry skin? If not, am afraid the increased doses may be responsible for this continued weight loss. Talk to your doctor to revise the treatment dosages and maybe adjust drug dose based on your symptoms and not laboratory values of TSH.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
