What are the possible side effects of levothyroxine (Levothroid, Levoxyl, Synthroid, Tirosint, Unithroid)? Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as: headache;
It is not a drug as such, but merely supplements what the body cannnot produce enough of. Stopping taking levothyroxine would indeed lead to you becoming hypothyroid again. This means you'll feel sluggish and tired, be constantly cold, have dry skin and put on weight. Again I'd advise not to stop taking it unless you want to experience these symptoms.
