Is It Safe To Stop Synthroid Abruptly?
Question: I feel bad and wonder if not taking several doses of synthroid can have something to do with it
Brief Answer:
Stopping Synthroid is not good
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Untreated hypothyroidim is not good. It can cause muscle cramps, weight gain, depression, abnorml cholesterol profile, etc. So if you have omited several doses of synthroid, your blood levels of thyroid hormones would be low now and that may cause you to feel bad. It is better to restart Synthroid.
