Dear User
It is unusual for patients to be off medications with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Most cases treatment is lifelong. As long as you are taking proper dose of medication, there is no side effect with these medications.
As far as libido is concerned, a proper thyroid replacement would only have a positive effect on libido and sexual function.
