O my!!! Here is my long story short, 2 yrs ago was put on synthroid, after a routine physical. I didn't even know I had a problem, gained 20-25 pounds, tried to diet, NOTHING, started breaking out on my face, actually leaving scares, etc...........10 days ago I ran out of my prescription - no refills - forgot about appt. and I actually have lost 3 pounds without even trying. AND my skin has no new blemished!!! I am staying off to do a trial on myself!! Good luck my friends and goodbye synthroid!!!!

Wow. This is really a scandal--have there been neutral trials showing that this drug causes at least half its users to gain large amounts of weight?? Try iodine if you feel the effects of withdrawal. Good luck!

I was glad to read your story…I have been on synthroid for one year and I feel worst. Today I have decided to stop cold turkey. I am looking into the natural way to maintain a healthier body. All these pill help one thing and mess up something else. Good luck to you and me….

Hope.
