No, that only means that you have approached the right dose of hormone replacement. The medicine that you call it is not a medicine but a thyroid hormone that is given to you as your thyroid is not forming enough of it. You will need to get your TSH levels tested every 3 months for your doctor to administer the right dose of hormone replacement. This is not a temporary situation, but a lifetime process.
