Hi Tulsa,
Thanks for your query.
Self-diagnosis and Self-treatment is always dangerous. Stop taking Thytropin immediately.
Instead, you may take Thyronorm 25 micrograms once a day, empty stomach early morning. Nothing should be taken for at least 1 hour after Thyronorm.
Repeat TSH after 6 weeks. If it is still high, the dose will need to be increased. I suggest that you consult a doctor, who will prescribe the drug and follow up the response under his close observation.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
