Hi, You can not stop taking medicine for thyroid. After improvement in condition you have to tapper the dose and gradually go for maintenance dose. Go for regular check up for TSH and change the dose accordingly, preferably after consulting your doctor. If you get thyroid symptoms like putting weight, tiredness, lethargy, dry skin, anemia, B12 deficiency and then it seems that you require evaluation of your case. Ok and take care.
