What will happen if i stop taking thyroxine and how long before i start seeing the side affects?

Less than a week: Depending on how underactive you are will determine how soon you will feel the effects of not taking your thyroid medication. It may be a week or it may be a month. It also depends upon how sensitive you are and how in tune you are to your body.
