Thyroxine can't be started off just on a tsh report sire it needs workup and then starting off with a low dose and further followup Any symptoms which prompted you to test for it? Any past or family history of the same? It'd be great if you did T3 , Free T4 and TPO levels as a further workup to make sure whether it's from underproduction or autoimmune
