Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
You are known case of Hypothyroidism and discontinued the supplementation of Thyroxine.
You should not discontinue such therapy. Please get your thyroid function test repeated if TSH is high it means you need to take thyroid hormone supplementation.
Please consult an Endocrinologist?Physician and take Thyroxine accordingly in fact may be lifelong.
You can take nutritional supplements but they are not substitute for thyroid hormone replacement.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
Good Luck.
