I take thyroxine from 40 days. my tsh was 3.2 at beginning, i want to stop thyroxine, can i slowly decrease and stop ? is it too late to stop ?

Thyroxine treatment: If you never needed the thyroxine at the beginning (which would be suggested by a normal tsh) then you can probably just stop the thyroxine. Probably not necessary to taper the dose, although it would not hurt to do so.
