    Thanks, @Chrissy Cross. Thanks, @Patsy Faye .
    He prescribed the 50 mcg for me. I have heard that it takes a month before you can see any difference.

    I no longer have a thyroid so I suppose I would have such an experience if I quit taking my Levothyroxine.

    @Ken Anderson , have you had any side effects from the Levothyroxine? I hate taking medicine and always worry about side effects.

    Yes...it will probably take a month @Shirley Martin.

    Ive had no side effects from it. Only one I can even think of is if your dose is too high you'll get a rapid heartbeat but at 50mcg I don't think it will be a problem.

    Your metabolism should kick up also...might lose weight easier but I wouldn't get my hopes up on that. :)
