[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was on 100mcg of synthroid and my endo upped my dosage to 112 mcg because I was having trouble losing weight and felt really tired. I felt much better on the 112 dosage but my endo moved me back down to 100 because he said it was too much after checking my levels 6 weeks later. I felt crappy on the 100 dosage and still had a refill on the 112 dosage so I filled it and have been taking it. I've felt better and am slowly losing some weight.

How bad is it that I'm doing this? I know it's only temporary because my refill will run out and my endo won't write me a new rx for it. But I finally feel how I think a person should typically feel. I should be able to lose weight on 1200-1300 calories per day, when I wasn't losing any eating the same amount on a 100 mcg dosage.

How should I proceed? I don't think he'll allow me to continue on the dosage I feel better on. Does your endo allow this?[/quote]

OP, please note that a diet of 1200 - 1300 calories a day is not safe, even for weight loss. 1500 is the absolute minimum. [/quote]

That is not necessarily true.[/quote]
