Hello,
I understand your situation and i find your question very reasonable. You are diagnosed with hypothyroidism 3 weeks ago and started 50 mcg of thyronorm. In general to judge for the efficiency of a certain dose of thyronorm we do wait 6 weeks. Your TSH level is improved, but 3 weeks are not enough to judge.
You didn't mention your weight and probably 50 mcg is not enough for you, but if i were your doctor i would recommend to change the doses not earlier than 6 weeks.
Hope my opinion will be helpful.
Best regards,
Dr.M.Guni
