No, but talk to doc: When you take thyroid your own thyroid may temporarily reduce production but when you stop it should be fine again soon.You say your free t3 (liothyronine) is "perfectly normal" but the range of 2.3-4.2 is not optimal- i find that many with levels below 3.0 or so are clinically hypothyroid ; feel better with rx.You may also have type 2 hypothyroidism-see http://bit.Ly/198pl4d ask your doc why it was prescribed.

HYPOTHYROIDISM: Definitely affect your thyroid function if you do not take it, it can even make it worse if you have myxedema.
