Going off my thyriod meds

I stopped taking my Oroxine (thyriode meds) about 10 days ago. Reason is I ran out of it and to get a new script meant I trip to the doctor. My GP is quite a distance from me. I have noticed the following: I am not so dizzy, my
blurry eyes have cleared as well,  although I am starting to feel a little more tired. What is going on? My mind seems
to be not so foggy as well. Does this mean that this little tablet can be the cause of all my problems. I moved to
Australia 6 years ago and that was when I started with all these funny symtoms, that seem to be going away in the
past 10 days. Please, I need some answers.

Thanks for your comments. Made an appointment to see the doctor tomorrow.
Besides the terrible heatwave we have at the moment - and that is tiring - I feel fine.
Have been on thryrio meds since 1992, but had to switch brands when I moved to
Australia.
Will let you know when I get the results.

Best thing to consider is take the drive and get blood tests to see where you are at.

Discuss how you feel with your doctor and see if taking this medication is no longer needed.

Rare cases can happen where you only needed a temporary treatment and things may be better now. Only way to know is lab work.
