You seem to be taking thyroid replacement therapy after total or near total Thyroidectomy. You can stop these medicines abruptly as thyroid hormone is very essential for normal functioning of our body. You need to get thyroid profile test and consult your doctor
Next Steps
Consult nearby endocrinologist or physician for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
