The authors suggest that increasing levothyroxine dose in older hypothyroid adults who were already on levothyroxine might improve depressive symptoms. Importantly, the TSH remained in the normal range on the increased levothyroxine dose.
however UK guidance states (1) there is no defined conversion factor, and conversion of patients from liothyronine to levothyroxine monotherapy will require a reduction in the dose of liothyronine and an increase in levothyroxine. A reduction of dose of liothyronine by 10 micrograms will probably require an increase in dose of levothyroxine of
