Levothyroxine is the most prescribed drug in the US. You will have your levels continually checked every 6-8 weeks for several months as they start the dose out very low and then slowly increase it to find the proper therapeutic range. As it has a narrow therapeutic index, you need to increase the dosage very slowly, and unlike many other drugs, generics are not bioequivalent to one another, so your doctor will not switch manufacturers for you.
Best of luck with your treatment.
