A member asked:

I have had my thyroid removed. if i smoke methamphetamines will it affect my synthroid (thyroxine) dose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: but that's the least of your problems. If you're smoking methamphetamine you must have a death wish. You won't need your Synthroid (thyroxine) at all after you're dead.
