Your TSH is 8.6, and since you had stopped taking thyroxine for 10 days before the test, that’s likely why it’s gone up. The right dose of thyroxine usually depends on your body weight, but it’s also important to know which dose kept your TSH stable earlier. If you were stable on 50 mcg before, then continue with 50 mcg. My advice is to go back to the dose you were taking regularly, take it daily without missing any doses, and repeat your TSH, T3, and T4 after 8 weeks. If your levels are normal then, you can continue the same dose. If not, consult your doctor who may adjust the dose based on the new report.
