Your reports are normal on 62 microgram of thyronorm itself proves you require that dose for your thyroid function to be normal
No question of quitting it.
If you stop medicines,then tsh will increase and you start getting many symptoms.
No permanent cure for Thyroid
Lifelong treatment required

Usually thyroid treatment is long term. There is no alternative to taking thyroid medicine. It’s not true the thyroid medicines does not cause any harm u can take it long term. If TSH is normal u need to continue same dose of the thyroid.
