If you mean "negligible" by low a TSH level, then med dose would be lowered.

A low TSH means either too much thyroid is being produced by the thyroid, or, too much meds. are being taken. By lowering the med. dose will bring up the TSH.

Normally the F/Ts will follow or correct themselves appropriately, unless there are other thyroid issues.
