lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. TSH 0.55 mU/L is within normal range but on the lower side. It is better to maintain around 3 to 4 mU/L. You may reduce the dose by 12.5 mcg to 62.5 mcg (50 mcg + 12.5 mcg). Then check TSH after 6 to 8 weeks to see if desired level is achieved or not. Thanks.

It is better to go for a general health check-up as a routine and let the doctor reduce the dose. Eat healthy food and maintain an ideal weight by exercising everyday. Do yoga and pranayam and Keep the regular followup schedule. Read more about thyroid conditions and know about the right things.
