How Long Will Synthroid Leve Sodium Remain In The System?

Hello I was put on Synthroid Leve sodium 0.0075 by a doctor and was on it for 2 months. I lost 10lbs and was sweating and shaking, being that i was 125lbs the weight loss was very concerning. I then went and seen my original doctor and she told me to stop taking them that my levels were normal and she did not understand why i was even put on them. so I am wondering how long till it is out of my system and i start to gain my weight back?
