[quote=Anonymous]I'm 51 and not on anything, but I was on Synthroid. The informal rule is that once put on Synthroid, you are on it for life. I have been on it for...15 years or so. I decided this didn't have to be the case so I asked my doctor if we could try getting me off it. We lowered the dose (and took blood tests) every six weeks until I was off it. I'm fine. I have another example with GERD, where I made diet and lifestyle changes (including mechanical ones like not eating/drinking before bedtime, and raising the bed at an angle) and kicked that, too. I think a lot of us get put on meds for something, then just continue with the meds. [/quote]
