My primary dr. asked me to stop taking my thyroid medication. he thinks my body is producing enough and will test me again in 6 weeks. is this ok?

Stopping thyroid: Be sure to mark your calendar and get an appointment for your thyroid tests to be repeated in 6 weeks, to see whether or not your body needs thyroid supplementation. Meanwhile take note if you feel any different off the thyroid than you did while you were on the thyroid.
