Hello, thanks for the query. When one takes adequate dosage of levothyroxine, tsh is maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l at which almost all the symptoms of hypothyroidism are in check. Hair fall is quite common in this condition. It does stop when hypothyroidism is in check. However, it takes fairly long time to correct it. So first you have to bring tsh down to 3 mu/l and then wait for some more weeks. You may consult a sking specialist for some help. Thanks.
