Looking for advice on stopping medication

A nurse practitioner slowly weened down my thyroid meds then said to stop them! I ended up in hospital for a week in myexedema coma. The endocrinologists said I have literally NO supply in my thyroid gland. Absolutely irresponsible medicine.

You need to think about side effects of coming off meds it could cause you more issues w write down pros and cons

@Toonces No I mean a doctor that looks at the whole picture, not just a few lab results. There’s a book called “stop the thyroid madness” it’s really helpful in getting proper treatment for thyroid. Most standard MD’s (at least the ones I’ve been to) have a very limited approach. Most didn’t even recognize I had a thyroid issue, wasn’t even until I saw a functional doctor

I difently recommend vitamin D and make sure you take calcium too

agreed.

I tried on my own to get off of it, and after one month, I had to start it again. I actually felt better when I restarted.

Talk to your primary care physician before taking yourself off any meds

Probably nor a good idea with our condition.
