I have heard that if you start taking thyroid tablets then you have to take it for life long. Is that true?

In case of Hypothyroidism(thyroid gland not working fully) one has to use Thyroxine tablets throughout life. But in Alternative Medicine(Herbal treatment) that I have been practicing for the last more than 16 years it is possible that one may give up the tablets in about an year's time
