A member asked:
I ve stopped to take thyroxine coz it was unecessary for me (tsh 3.2 at beginning). does my tsh will raise up and slowly decrease or stay stable ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TSH/levothyroxxine: Anyone who takes levothyrxoine whether they have hypothyroidism or not will tend to have a lower tsh. So when some stops levothyroxine the TSH will tend to go up. Hope this helps.
