As a psychiatrist. I would advise you to continue thyroxine tablet. Get thyroid antibodies tested. And watch out for signs of depression like low mood,vdecreased interest in work, decreased concentration, decrease appetite, sleeping problems, constipation.
If you have above symptoms feel free to consult.
