Dear XXXXXXX Hi! good to hear from you. congratulations on attaining a normal thyroid status. the dose of thyrox 75 mcg is the right dose for you an dyou must continue the same. thyroid disorders are not curable but correctable so we need correction always. if you stop it now once your thyroid balance is normal, again it will worsen so you need to continue same plan to maintain same balance. regards!
