Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hypothyroidism is not only cause for weakness it may be due to anemia or electrolyte imbalance or hypocalcemia or B12 deficiency. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. What is the pre-tablet consumption thyroid report level? Please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly. Stopping medication without doctor consultation is not good for health.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
