Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Usually if TSH has decreased from before or the T3 and T4 have increased the Levothyroxine dose is decreased because too much of it can cause hyperthyroidism instead of already existing hypothyroidism. Review your Reports to look for this change. Are you experiencing tremors, insomnia, sweating, diarrhoea, restlessness.
