Not sure about that. I have read that it takes a month or more for thyroid to go back to normal. Thats why you taper the T3. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

It's not going to screw your thyroid up in any permanent way. Just suppresses function for awhile. If you want to see how much you've been suppressed, wait a week and check Free T4. Usually the doctor is giving you thyroid hormone because you already have a problem with production anyway, but if this is for weight loss, it's a different story. TSH takes longer to return to baseline.

Usually a sore throat is nothing to get all worried about in this situation..

i noticed when drinking a lot of water it goes away...its like i have some food stuck in my neck.....anyways yeah i took it for weight loss..... i am gona stop in completely in 4days and start taking lipo6 coz it contains guggulsterones (supposed to boost the thyroid).
