> But, of course, you can't just stop either because that could have adverse affects as well.Does taking thyroid hormone suppress the normal thyroid function the way taking prednisone suppresses the adrenal glands? In other words, if a normal person took thyroid hormone for a year and then quit without tapering, would they go hypothyroidic?
