I took thyroid medication for the same reasons years ago. I ended up with no loss of weight but I developed an actual underactive thyroid problem. Is that what caused it? Who knows but if I had it to do over again I wouldn't have done that. Can never be sure you won't end up causing way more damage to yourself by "self medicating"! AN

Well I think your absolutley nutts! I'm a thyroid sufferer and it's unbelievable that you would tamper with somebody else's prescribed drugs! Your an insult! Go to your doctor or try exercising!
