A member asked:

If i miss my synthroid (thyroxine) dose for several weeks what will happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your thyroid: Level will drop, and it will take up to six weeks for it to reequilibrate back to normal once you begin taking it properly again, also, any symptoms you had, like fatigue, may begin to recur and take weeks to normalize, it's a silly and avoidable thing to do, .
