Need prior info: 25 mcg is a very low dose of levothyroxine, and usually people who are hypothyroid need more than this. Why were you started on levothyroxine in the first place? Were the blood tests abnormal then? How abnormal? Do you have a goiter? Was this something transient (eg subacute thyroiditis)? Don't stop it without discussing with your doctor. After stopping it, recheck blood tests, reevaluate.

Need more into: If your thyroid level was low, and your TSH elevated, they you should stay on brand name thyroid replacement. If your TSH is still 3.0 at your age, you probably need more replacement. Shoot for a TSH of .5 - 1.5 if possible.
