Can you die if stop taking thyroid medication?
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.
