lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. Normally no treatment is advocated for TSH values between 6 to 9.9 mU/L, as that state ic considered as subclinical hypothyroidism. However, in situations where a person has presence of troublesome symptoms associated with that condition then treatment may be initiated. Plus if there are increased Anti TPO antibodies (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis), which can lead to hypothyroidism. Since you have already been given treatment, may continue the same. Test TSH again after another 6 weeks then decide on changing the dosage. Thanks.
