I have hypothyroidism. I am taking 75 mcg Eltroxin per day. I always feel sleepy despite having a good night's sleep. Is there any remedy?

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. When on treatment with thyroxine it is necessary to maintain TSH < 3mU/L to be free from all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. So please check TSH value and if it is higher than that mentioned above, then dosage may have to be increased and TSH has to be checked again after 6 weeks. It is essential to mainntain TSH at that level. Thanks.
