You are in Hyperthyroid state. You are probably feeling a little jittery and maybe losing weight? Why did you stop taking your medication? Thyroid patients need it pretty much for life. It doesn't just fix the problem and then you can stop taking it. You needed it to balance out your hormones in the first place and now your levels have dropped.
   What were the other results? Do you have them?  If they are too high or too low you will need the medication again.
Good luck at the doctor.
