What happens when you do not take
synthroid? What are the effects to a
person who has had their thyroid removed,
and they do not take synthroid?

All the effects of hypothyroidism- and if
it gets serious enough, it could be really
problematic. Your thyroid levels are
important to every aspect of your life.
* Feeling tired, weak, or depressed.
* Dry skin and brittle nails.
* Not being able to stand the cold.
* Constipation.
* Memory problems or having trouble
thinking clearly.
* Heavy or irregular menstrual
periods.
(according to web md)
weight gain is another I've heard, and
also general lethargy.
