If you suddenly quick taking thyroid replacement hormone, what are the side effects?

Answer 1

On August 1st 2001, The American Academy of Family Physicians published a report of a study by Jeffrey T. Kirchner, entitled ‘Stopping Thyroid Hormone Replacement in the Elderly’. Participants in the study were residents of four nursing homes who were taking thyroid hormone therapy. Initial exclusion criteria included prior laboratory documentation in the patient's medical record of a TSH level above 10 [micro]U per mL. Patients were also excluded if they were taking lithium or amiodarone, or if they had a history of thyroid nodule or goiter. The authors conclude from the results of this study that thyroid hormone therapy can be withdrawn in a significant number of nursing home patients. Their findings are similar to those from studies of patients in community-based settings. The authors note that it was previously reported that over-treating with thyroid hormone may adversely affect patients' myocardial contractility and decrease bone density. Thyroid hormone is used in two situations - to replace the function of the thyroid gland, which is no longer functioning normally (“replacement therapy”) and to prevent further growth of thyroid tissue (“suppression therapy”). However, you should not stop your thyroid hormone therapy without discussing this with your doctor. Most thyroid problems are permanent, and therefore most patients require thyroid hormone for life. If you miss a dose of thyroid hormone, it is usually best to take the missed dose as soon as you remember. It is also safe to take two pills the next day; one in the morning and one in the evening. It is very important that your thyroid hormone and TSH levels are checked periodically, even if you are feeling fine, so that your dose of thyroid hormone can be adjusted if needed.

HI Red


Here are some ideas to help with the issue.


Cause: Hypothyroidism can be caused by food allergies, excess stress, environmental toxins, insufficient exercise, B vitamin deficiencies, lack of iron, lack of digestive enzymes, liver disease, hormone imbalances, and/or parasites. All of these factors need to be screened for and addressed before lasting relief can be achieved.

Sulfa drugs, lithium, synthetic estrogen, and antihistamines can exacerbate hypothyroidism symptoms. In addition, if you are on thyroid medication, increase calcium supplementation to reduce the risk of bone loss.

Natural Cures


Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet, emphasizing foods that are naturally high in iodine such as fish, kelp, vegetables, and root vegetables (such as potatoes). Also, increase your daily consumption of foods rich in vitamin B complex, such as whole grains and raw nuts and seeds, and foods rich in vitamin A, such as dark green and yellow vegetables. But avoid foods that slow down production of thyroid hormone, such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, mustard greens, broccoli, turnips, kale, spinach, peaches, and pears.

Herbs: Mild cases of hypothyroidism can be helped by herbal bitters such as gentian or mugwort, while constipation due to low thyroid function can be improved by yellowdock, butternut, or cascara sagrada. St. John`s wort can also be helpful.

Homeopathy: Calc carb. in a dose of 1M once a day is very useful for treating hypothyroidism and improving overall thyroid function.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment.
*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment.

Lifestyle: Regular aerobic exercise can play an important role in helping to regulate thyroid hormone production.

Nutritional Supplementation: Organic thyroid glandular extracts can help restore normal thyroid function, but should only be used under the supervision of your physician. Other useful nutrients include vitamin A, vitamin B complex, essential fatty acids, iodine, kelp, calcium, magnesium, and zinc.

Best of health to you.
