                        I have been slowly building on my hypothyroidism for past 10 years.  I too started at a low dose and now I am at 150.  My tests come back showing it on the high side of normal and that is where I operate best without increasing my heart beat or feeling anxious.  My doctor prescribes 100 tablets at a time and I always have a blood test before she refills the prescription.  I do not experience extreme fatique, or cold extremeties, or dry skin/mouth, or tearful responses (tears when I am not sad) any longer.  I hope you continue on the path.  Yes your weight will stabilize when you are feeling better and become normally active again with the need for less sleep.
