I'm a bit confused about my thyroid medication. I've had thyroid issues for the past 3.5 years, which started during pregnancy. I'm on 25 mcg of medication. I recently got my thyroid levels checked, and my results are T3 108, T4 7.96, and TSH 1.31. Should I keep taking the 25 mcg or think about stopping it? I'm just not sure what to do next.
Based on these results, it seems like your thyroid levels are well controlled. I would recommend continuing with the same dosage of 25 mcg of Levothyroxine to maintain your thyroid levels within the normal range. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular monitoring and adjustments if needed.
