Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
The dose of levothyroxine depends on lab results of TSH, ft4 and ft3.
You need to check them.
Usually the treatment is for life, there is no way to stop.
Hope the information will help.
Best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta
