How long does levothyroxine stay in your system after stopping the med of 50 mcg per day?

Answer 1

I am not medically sure but I stopped taking mine (levothyroxine 50mcg day) 2 weeks ago and have started feeling groggy, exhausted, sleepy, and irritable. So, I am going back on them.

I'm not sure how long it stays in your system but don't understand why you might stop. I'm assuming it's used for a thyroid condition, if not, my mistake, but the drug is to either give you something your body is not giving you itself - in this case it seems logical to stay on it because it's a replacement of something you don't have (hypo), or in other instances I'm guessing it's to even out you having too much?
