It sounds like he may have done some research and discovered your dose was too high to start on. He also needs to learn the newest normal range for TSH. The newest high end of normal is 3.0, but anything over 2.0 with symptoms warrants further testing. I started Armour on 60 mg., but I'd been taking 100 mcg. Synthroid for several years, so my case is different. Good luck on your journey back to yourself.
