I was only of medication for 14 days for a scan the nhs wanted to run in 2014. I don’t think they like to keep you off them for more than that. With someone who’s had a total thyroid removed. If your in the uk. I’d give your doctors surgery a ring, or make an appointment, or talked to someone. Or a walk in clinic. They should be able to get your medication. How much do you take a day?

Yes go to a walk in centre. Am I reading this right-your present surgery won't talk to you because your regular doctor has left? What has happened to their duty of care?
