TSH very low now

Below are my TSH, Free T4, Free T3 at different dates. I started using SYNTHROID 25 MCG  from 9/10/2010 for 2 months. I should  have not used  for that TSH levels. My PCP @ that time did not mention that I need to take medication fro a long time. After that I  have been using homeopathy medicine . But in latest test, TSH dropped down to 0.04 . I was surprised to see this. What should I do now? In 8 months, it reduced to 0.04 from 6.24. Free T4 & Free T3 are in normal range. My hair is falling. My skin is dry. I get dry flakes (mixed with red color) in nose daily. I changed my PCP now and I  have appointment next week with new PCP.

Thanks Mark Lupo,
Yes, I am going to stop homeopathic medication after discussing with doctor. After I stop and I do checks after 3-4 weeks and if thyroid levels are normal, Is it ok if I do not take any medication. I mean, how should I take care to keep the levels normal later in life.

Also, will this condition affect pregnancy & the kid. I am planning to have pregnancy next year. I already have a 2.5 yrs old son.

It looks like the homeopathic medications may be causing an overactive thyroid.  Would discuss this with your primary doctor and consider stopping the homeopathic medication and recheck thyroid levels after about 5 or 6 weeks.
