What Is The Dosage Of Bio-Throid For Hypothyroidism?

Yes Please I have been taking Biothroid prescribed by a Dr Noemi Quintanar in Scotsdale United States, for 3 or so years now. My TSH blood levels have slowly declined to 0.04 today over this period as the Dr has continued to increase the dose. I currently have been taking 97.5 mg, 1.5 grains per day but I am concerned about the very low TSH reading and she does not think the dose should be lessened. I have many many daily symptoms.....extreme tiredness, constipation, neck aches and brain fog. I also have Adrenal Fatigue which I was treating with liquid herbs but do not have any of that at present. I would like to know your view on dosage and TSH levels if I should be on a lower dose. I also want to compare the Australian Synthetic T4 only Eutroxsig Thyroxine medication of 75micrggrams which I was on for 20 years to the equvalent Biothroid dose please. Please please help me with these questions. Thank you Judy Harris Tewantin Qld Australia
