I've been w/o my synthroid (thyroxine) for 6 mos now, i was taking 100mcg daily.how long do i have before symptoms get really bad and if so what will happen?

Now: This is too long. See your physician now, and have your TSH and free T4 checked now. It they are normal, then you no longer have hypothyroidism. But if they are abnormal, you need to restart your meds to prevent long term complications.
