What Causes Severe Headache And Fatigue After Withdrawing From Synthroid?

My doctor cancelled my synthroid prescription unexpectedly, probably because he wants to check my blood work and levels. But I ve been off of it for 9 days now and I feel terrible: headache, lethargic, weepy, stomachache, light headed. Could this be the affect of being off my prescription?

Hi
Went through your post, it would have been help if you had written intial TSH before you started treatment, anyway I don't know why your doc stopped levothyroxine before seeing your latest thyroid status
Most of symptoms you mentioned can be due to low thyroid levels I would suggest you restart lecothyroxine and weather dose reduction is needed or not can be decided after report comes and preferably consult a young physician or an endocrinologist.
Regards.
