I've stopped taking thyronorm for about 15 days now, and I'm wondering if there might be any effects from doing that? Should I start taking it again or maybe get anything checked out first? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Stopping Thyronorm (thyroid medication) for 15 days can lead to hypothyroidism symptoms reappearing, such as fatigue, weight gain, and mood changes; consider restarting the medication as prescribed and scheduling a blood test to check your Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels to ensure they return to normal; consult your doctor for personalized advice.
