Hello, I don't know any Chat Doctor.  I suppose you meant thyroxine. Thyroxine is usually prescribed to patients with hypothyroidism to compensate for the reduced thyroid functionality. Hypothyroidism may worsen body weight control. Stopping thyroxine may result in weight gain. You'd better talk to the treating physician or an endocrinologist for further advice. Testing should be carried out before taking any decisions. Important tests to check include the TSH and free T4. An ultrasound scan of the thyroid may provide additional information in some cases. Unfortunately, I don't have enough information to provide a more personalized answer. If you'd like to post another question with all the details I'll be glad to help. I hope I've answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Kind
