I suspect you have hyperthyroidism because of Graves’ disease. Your thyroid function has improved with tapazole and we usually reduce the dose further. The duration of treatment is usually 12 to 18 months but in a few thyroid problem may persist longer. With treatment it is possible to keep thyroid function in the normal range
Next Steps
Suggest meeting your endocrinologist before any dose alteration
