.100 is only equivalent to 1mg.
I dropped my Spiro from 150 to 100mg, after my GD doctor increased my from 2 x 1 mg patch, to 2.5 mg on patches. You can always cheat by leaving the patches on for 7 days, to make sure you get to use all the E available. ( yoh still attach a new patch every 3.5 days, just take the old ones off after 7 ) keep in mind, get your bloodwork done on only the one patch, not two..
It's actually 1.64 mg direct equivalent to bloodstream. And, if you think of the what the digestive track does to pills and tablets....... It's even better than that. But at any rate... just on my .050mcg I made up and gained almost a full inch at my bustline, so, I am real happy.
