Stopped taking my synthroid, (thyroxine) i feel just as tired and twice this week i had a low fever. is the fever normal?

Stay on Synthroid (thyroxine): Going off of needed thyroid medication will lead to: weight gain, lethargy, depression, dry skin and hair loss. It will lead to heart disease with sluggish heart muscle activity. The combined effect of all of that will make your immune function worse and thus put you at risk for infections. Get back on your medication and get to the right dose for you so that you are asymptomatic.
