I am post RAI by 9 years plus. Hypothryoid. Ran out of Synthroid and doctor will not prescribe to next appt. Been out for two weeks and no apt for another two. My own fault. I am a retail manager and had to cancel my apt due to Christmas holiday and could not get out of the store.

Can anybody tell me if there is anything I can buy herbal or vitamin to help with feeling so lethargic, nauseous, and sick. Hardly have any energy at all.

Thank you

Hello – Unfortunately, there are no herbal alternatives to replacement hormone.

Even if you had to cancel an appointment, that doesn’t seem right for a doctor to make you go without meds for a month! She probably wants to see a new set of labs to make sure you are on the right dose before writing a new prescription, but you still shouldn’t have to go without for that long.

Does the office understand that you have had no meds at all for two weeks? Is there any chance they can put you on a cancellation list to get in quicker? Or can you can visit an urgent care center (or even another doctor) and get labs done there and a prescription done?

Please be persistent until you can find a solution – you definitely shouldn’t have to go a whole month without meds!
