Coming off Medication

Hello all.

This month with be my 18th month of treatment for an overactive thyroid. I have been on block and replace for most of my treatment and my levels are finally showing normal. 

My endo has told me just to come off of everything this month.

In others' experience - do you have to come off on the same day of the month that you started, or can it be the last day of the month, or does it even matter? 

Advice much appreciated.

Chloececilia,

I don't think it will matter whether you stop Carbimazole at the beginning or end of the month 18 months after starting it.
