How Can Weight Gain And Hair Loss Be Treated?
Hello I just recently had blood work and my thyroid level was at 51. My Dr said to stay off my medication & repeat blood work in 2 weeks. Is it good to just stop medication? I have been on it for years & was recently changed from 0.175 mug to 0.150 mcg. I suffer from weight gain, hair loss, loss of sleep

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Judging by the symptoms you have you don't have a medically balanced thyroid. I don't think you should stop medication even for a week.
Try to help hair loss by also adding vit B complex and minoxidil lotion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
