Brief Answer:
Avoid cabbage

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry for the delay in my response.

I am medical doctor, an associate in Department of Endocrinology, working with an experienced Thyroid disease specialist. I answer on his behalf.

Side effects of thyroxine are very less the commonest amongst during the initiation of the medication are hair loss, weight loss, loose stools headache, nausea etc. In cases with higher dose say around 75mc n above increased sweating, sensitivity to heat, mental/mood changes (such as nervousness, mood swings), tiredness, diarrhea, shaking (tremor), headache, shortness of breath can be experienced.

The chances of you getting off the dosage are there. Good diet and exercise would surely bring you off the medication. The duration required for the same is subjective.

Low fat and low carbohydrate diet with rich amount of fiber, iodine etc is good and avoidance of cabbage is very essential.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
