View allI'm a bit confused about my treatment plan coming up soon. My current weight is 64.8 kg, and my height is 169 cm, putting my BMI at 22.7. Everything I've read suggests I should stay at this weight. But in two weeks, my medication dosage is going to be adjusted based on my weight. It looks like I'd get 3 tablets if I'm under 65 kg and 5 tablets if over 65 kg. I'm torn on whether I should try to bump my weight slightly to around 67 kg or just stay where I am. Can you help me figure out what's best?

How long can you go without thyroid medication?
The half-life (time taken for amount of drug in your body to be reduced by half) of levothyroxine is 6 - 7 days in euthyroid, 9 - 10 days in hypothyroid and 3 - 4 days in hyperthyroid. So, it would take few weeks for your body to get rid of the thyroid medication. But you may start to experience symptoms within first week of not taking medication. Moreover, once you restart the medication it will take 3 - 5 days for it to start the action and almost few weeks to reach maximum effect. In all this time, you need to suffer from the symptoms. Hence, it's safer to take medications regularly and monitor thyroid levels.
