Strongly do not recommend stopping taking your thyroid medication. You’re going to get damage to your whole organ system if you don’t take medication if you truly have hypothyroidism of any type, especially Hashimotos, which is autoimmune.

Some people don’t convert T4 ( levo) so, they need to take T3. Normally your body converts T4 to T3. T3 is the active hormone which is usable by your body, t4 is converted to t3.

My advice was aimed at helping you to find a way to pay less for whatever you end up getting if you don’t have coverage and or go the oop route.
