My tsh is showing 15 last test. do i hve2 take meds and if so which1 eltroxin or euthyrox. can i stop once stabilised. which tabs preferable.

To many pills: Both of your meds are the same thing. You only need one brand name T4 pill, but it has to be the correct dose to keep your lab normal. Once stabilized, which can take 6 weeks at a minimum (or longer), you will need to stay on it life long as it's a treatment, not a cure.
