Lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. For patients with hypothyroidism it is necessary to take adequate dose of thyroxine for lifetime. If it is stopped then TSH level will go up plus all the symptoms of that condition will reappear. It is essential to maintain TSH around 3 to 4 mU/L to be free from all the symptoms. Since there is no mention of current TSH level, it is difficult to comment about the reasons for various complaints that you are having now. Thanks.
