Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
Although it is quite unusual to stop thyroid medicine once the levels are normal but your doctor knows the most about your case, so, you should follow the advice.
Effect of starting or stopping the thyroid hormone medicine take very long time to appear. It cannot be so obvious within a week. Your symptoms can well be due to any other cause like anxiety. So, better to wait for your doctor's visit & new blood test.
Wish you good health.
