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.

What dosage of Thyronorm do you think I should take if my TSH levels are at 11.5? Should I stick to 50mcg or bump it up to 100mcg? I've been on 50mcg for about 16 years, but I've recently picked up a lot of physical activity and started a healthier diet. I stopped taking my meds for about three weeks and that's when my TSH came out high. What do you suggest I do now?

Given your TSH level of 11.5 and your history of taking 50 mcg of Thyronorm for 16 years, its important to consult with your doctor. Generally, they may recommend returning to your previous dosage (50 mcg), but they might adjust it based on how your body responds to training and dietary changes. Regular monitoring is key.
