The best treatment for your case is to start with low dose of 25 mcg of Thyroxine (Thyronorm) and keep checking the Thyroid function test at regular interval to monitor the treatment and whether it is correcting the underlying deficiency or not.
There should not be any fear in starting this treatment.
