I also have been on synthroid for 12 yrs. and still am not on a reg. dose--dr.change me reg.. I was put on 350mg. and then brought down to what I am now at 125mg. seems to be ok. I hate that with any meds. I never can get regulated.. It is one big roller coaster ride with my health and sanity as the booby prize.
