can take about 6 weeks to get into your system and 3 months to fully work. You also have to start out with low doses and work your way up to the amount you need. So still feeling tired is not surprising. When I started mine it was about 3 weeks before I noticed even the tiniest change and took somewhere between 2 and 3 months before I started to feel normal again. They won't think you're faking anything. You're supposed to have your thyroid levels checked 3 months after you start a new med and then every 6 months after that. I would of thought they'd wait more than a month for a thyroid follow-up. Good luck at your visit.
