hi. I started taking the pill when I was 17. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid when I was 19 (doesn’t run in the family). I took the pill continuously until 2020 and then had a baby and haven’t gone back on it. For years and years I took 100mcg levo until after the birth it was reduced to 75 (and been up and down again since last year).
I have many symptoms ie severe anxiety that suggest maybe I am over medicated.
Do you think there is a link between thyroid and now not taking the pill? Is it likely that I do not need to take as much thyroxine now?
