Stopped tapazole - feel dreadful...can someone relate?

Hi I’m looking to hear from anyone that’s been on tapazole then come off it and how they’ve felt?

My labs came back normal for the first time from being high for months then my endo reduced the dose from 10mg to 5mg to then wait and see how things go but then told me I was going towards being hypo but he still didn’t want to stop the meds and wanted to wait a little bit more.

However on Thursday I developed a bad sore throat and an unknown bruise on my leg (I never bruise) so both of them made me stop taking the meds with the plan of getting in touch with my dr to let him know and also request another blood test.

Since stopping the meds however I have been feeling absolutely awful. Keep getting random dizzy spells like vertigo where it feels I’m on a boat or something.

Then today I’ve been out and all day I’ve been getting such high anxiety it’s been like being in a constant panic attack state with palpitations and just feeling like always being on the verge of fainting...now that I’m home and it’s calming down I’ve been hit with severe fatigue as if I can’t even hold myself up.

Did anyone feel like this stopping tapazole or does it sounds like I’m maybe just going more hypo?
