What Will Happen On Suddenly Stopping Levothyroxine Pill?
I am taking one 0.05 mg. levothyroxin pill each morning for several months. I am experiencing painful and incomplete swallowing, vomited for the first time today to clear my esophagus, had pain in the back, experience a "full" and slightly sick feeling in my stomach, and some other symptoms that fit the side effects listed for the drug. What happens if I suddenly stop taking the drug for the next 3 or 4 days until I can get to my regular doctor?. . . xxxxxxxxx medical records administratorxxx) Thanks.

Hello,
Although the symptoms you described are not due to levothyroxine,but if you want to stop the medicine abruptly,there is nothing dangerous which is going to happen in next couple of days.
Thanks
