I've been on synthroid for a few years. The highest my TSH was 5.28 -- now it is below 2.0. I started with 25 mcg, then 50 mcg, and have been at 75 mcg for a while.
I go every 3 to 6 months for a blood test. I was having some other issues with my thyroid so I went to an endocrinologist for a while.
