Low TSH numbers -

Posted by Kwazy on May 4, 2003, at 17:16:48

I have a lot of the symptoms of being hypothyroid (fatigue, weight gain, depression).These are the results from my last blood test:
TSH = 0.88
T4, Free = 1.5
T4, Total = 8.7
T3, Free = 286
The TSH # shows that I am not hypothyroid, but my pdoc put me on levoxyl anyway. I have been on it now (100mg/day) for about 4 weeks and I think my symptoms have gotten a good deal better (I am less fatigued and my mood has lifted a bit). Does anyone have any experience with being put on thyroid meds despite a normal thyroid panel? Think this is a good/bad idea if it seems to work?
Thanks
