A member asked:
If i discontinue taking my hypothyroid meds (levothyroxine and armor), what can happen and with what timeline?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypothyroid: Typically, your Thyroid hormone levels will continue to decrease. Symptoms such as cold intolerance, weight gain, constipation, hair loss, doughy skin and generalized fatigue will begin. How fast these will begin depends on how low your thyroid hormone is and how much extra hormone your body is used to.
