Hello,
Uncontrolled hypothyroidism leads to weight gain and not the THYRONORM.
Get your thyroid function tests done again and see whether you require a change of dose og THYRONORM.
THYRONORM can not be stopped and has to be given life long.
There can be various other reasons for your weight gain like menopause,depression,less physical work,more consumtion of deep fried and junk foods.
Control your diet and do regular aerobic exercises for at least 45 minutes a day.
Thanks
