I've been on Levoxyl for 2 years now. I stopped taking it on January 1, 2004 because of all the side effects (just about all of the ones listed here!). I stopped taking it for 6 weeks and became symptom free. Then, I began to feel fatigued, so I started taking the drug again. Now, all the syptoms have returned. I'm wondering if I was just tired from natural things and should have remained off the drug. So what happens when you just don't take any thyroid drug? Can it be as uncomfortable and serious as all the symptoms we are experiencing because of drugs? I think I'm just going to stop taking it again. My doctor gives about as much help on the topic as nothing!
