Hello,

I strongly recommend you to follow your doctor's recommendations and not to do other. Low weight means that you thyroid status is not normal yet and needs to continue the treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
