How To Withdraw From Levothyroxine?

Levothyroxine is causing severe headaches even though my doctor has adjustage the dosage. I am angry with myself for not doing more research BEFORE starting this med a few months ago and want to stop altogether. I missed one pill yesterday and was pain free. I want out!
