Hi Ruth,

Not to off-put your question, but you asked what a higher dose was, and 137 is obviously a higher number than 125, so i don't quite see what you're getting at with that?

As to your other question regarding why the endocrinologist changed your dose, he/she certainly has a good reason for doing so and it's honestly anyone's guess until you ask the endocrinologist personally why they made that decision, for there are several possible reasons; including but not limited to: a judgement call based on your thyroid levels; lowering your risk of certain possible side effects; trying to slow-taper you off; etc.... but how would you really know until you asked them personally? You ask a simple question, but in my opinion, it can only be accurately answered by the one who is making that decision.
