Important medication: If you are taking levothyroxine for hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) then that is a medication that should not be discontinued. In hypothyroidism the thyroid does not make enough thyroid hormone. levothyroxine is thyroid hormone replacement. When the thyroid is out of balance it can lead to menstrual irregularities or even no menstrual cycles.
