^Thanks, Gerry. My reluctance to start down the road with Synthroid is getting the better of me. I'm just a fraidy cat when it comes to taking drugs. But I may have no choice this time . . . except that I am not symptomatic at the moment. If I feel like I can continue without it, then why shouldn't I continue without it?

Another question: What about the inactive ingredients in Synthroid? Why am I taking something with "acacia, confectioner's sugar (contains corn starch), lactose monohydrate, magnesium sterate, providone, and talc" plus 12 "color additives"?
