A member asked:
I want to get off synthroid. my tsh on therapy is 2.58. before therapy it was 5.03. is it safe to discontinue the medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Do not discontinue or change the dose without consulting your doctor. Your TSH before indicates thyroid deficiency. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
