[QUOTE="BFE, post: 1825009, member: 28532"] Can you stop taking meds when they kill the thyroid? I would think the body would be totally dependent on them in such a case. If it was just starting/stopping meds I would be open to try, but I won't go down a one way street that puts me dependent on meds the rest of my days. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland to signal the thyroid to work. Too much is a sign of Hypothyroidism or underactivity, the pituitary overproducing trying to signal the thyroid to work. Too much is the thyroid producing too much, no need for the pituitary gland to signal it to work. At least, that was the way the endocrinologist explained it to me. [/QUOTE]
