You are using very low dose and I find it very difficult to believe that such a low dose corrected your TSH levels. First, consult a physician and follow the advise of the physician. Hypothyroidism is a chronic disease. It is not curable. You have to take the medicine lifelong or risk getting complications.

Start the same dose of thyroid hormone with which it was controlled earlier and continue it and regularly recheck it. Don't stop medicines without consultation with Physician.
