Hi Heidi, I don't know if this is dumb or not, but i don't know what all the drugs you listed are. Are they natural? Vitamins? I'm currently on thyroid meds. Synthroid, .15ml.But you are the second person in the last 2 days that has talked about natural thyroid meds. I see my doctor on friday. I'm going to ask her , or tell her, that i want to try it. Could you please tell me what those other drugs are?? I really want to loose some weight.. thanx Lisa
