Is TSH spiking after stopping medication temporary?

My tsh doubled from stopping. This was about 4 weeks after stopping. Went from 2 to 5.5 TSH!

Any thoughts?

Yes if you were hypo before you started thyroid and you stop your medication, it’s normal for TSH to go back up.

Maybe it comes down further with time. If free T3/T4 are great, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I’d retest in 6 to 12 weeks again.

Great thank you. I believe its mainly a cortisol issue. Cause my dhea is super low. And never feel great when being on thyroid

Have you ever tried vitamin B5 for raising DHEA and adrenal hormones?

Looking good; I would prefer it a bit higher; around 100mcg/dL for both copper and zinc. Do you ever tested ceruloplasmin?
