Best Answer

What happens after discontinuation of thyroid meds is entirely dependent upon which thyroid meds you are taking. Thyroid supplementation is necessary for life and without it you will die. If the meds you are taking are slowing down the production of thyroid hormone because you have hypERthyroidism, then the thyroid will again overproduce hormone and you will become sick. If you have cancer and choose not to have RAI, you may have a recurrence of your cancer.

When will a plant stop taking in water?

Plants only stop taking in water when they die. Plants must continue getting healthy mineral water otherwise they will eventually die. They might stop taking in water when you pull them out of the soil. Plants also stop if you don't give them their resources that are necessary to survive. I think personally that plants are kind of helpless. Once its stem is cut, it will die immediately.
