You can not stop once it started.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. If a person develops hypothyroidism (as is the case with you), then the treatment with thyroxine is for life time. Once a person starts treatment with adequate dosge of levothyroxine tablets, the usually by 6 to 8 weeks TSH level tends decrease and become normal. But that does not mean that treatment can be stopped. The levels normal because of the supplement being taken on regular basis. According to me the dosage given to you is not enough. It will have to be increased after seeing TSH around 8 weeks later. Thanks.

You have to take medicine and simultaneously monitor your TSH level under the supervision of your doctor. If TSH level falls beyond the lower limits your medicine will be reduced gradually to keep your TSH with in acceptable limits.
