Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The duration of treatment to have a normal blood level of hormone may be indeterminate.However, regular hormonal control and dose adjustment will be necessary.I will suggest you see your Endocrinologist for follow-up.An interruption of treatment even after having normal values may cause recurrence of symptoms.Reasons why you need regular follow-up by an expert while on medication.
Hope this will help
Best regards
