Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Hypothyroidism of such severe intensity is usually treated life long. So after titration of the dose to bring down the TSH, it will need to be continued for the rest of your life.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Venkatesh S Pai
