You may start with the same dose n get a repeat Thyoid profile done after 1 month if there is an improvement continue the same dose without any break for better results,empty stomach in the morning
You get the thyroid function tests repeated and adjust the dosage accordingly.Thyroxin is a replacement hormone and ideally couldn't be abruptly discontinued without your doctor's advice.
