You would lose weight, become very nervous and edgy, you might lose your hair or it would change texture. Thyroxine is not to be messed with!Health Question & Answer
You severely increase your chance of having a heart attack. Every organ is affected by this though and the body will try to cope with this thyroxine by shutting off the normal function of the thyroid gland over time. Which could make your condition worse (if your thyroid still functions a little, depends if you got radiation treatment or surgery)Health Question & Answer
