Since it is: An exact duplicate of what's been in your body since you were in your mother's womb, there are no withdrawal effects - or any negative effects of any kind. If you have hypothyroidism as stated, you will need brand name T4 replacement every day the rest of your life. Never stop therapy for any reason. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.
