How long you have been taking thyrox tablets?
It does cause hair loss initially, which stops after some time.
Continue the treatment.

Listen if u want to stop medicine u can. Raised tsh itself is a cause of hair fall, lethargy, weakness. U r in minimal dose u actually need 50 mcg.
I was a hypothyroidism person since age of 36yrs now I m 69 yrs, my thyroid is 1.64, yet I m on 100mcg prescribed by my doctor. I m a heart pt too.
With thyroxine u need calcium as thyroxine is calcium depleting agent.
Shalcal 500 one after dinner.
Other causes of hair fall
Vitd3, vitb12 deficiency. Go for assessment.
