I'm a 25yo male. About 2 months ago, I started taking nutri-pak thyroid supplement. I started at 1/4 tablet, and over two months I have slowly worked up to 1 tablet. Around the time I started taking it, I have noticed a sharp increase in acne on my forehead. It's not that bad anywhere else; it's really all above my eyebrows. I've tried lowering dairy for awhile, lowering gelatin intake, changing the amount of liver I have in a week, increasing my water intake, and changing pillow cases more often. I used to be able to wear any greasy hat, and wouldn't get any acne on my forehead (not that I like wearing hats that are greasy). I haven't had acne this bad on my forehead since high school.
Since taking thyroid, my temperatures are a lot closer to 98.6, bpm is going up, I feel a lot warmer in general, and I have more appetite, which is all great! However, I would like to come off of my thyroid supplement for awhile to see if that's what's causing my acne. My questions are:
Has anyone noticed an increase in acne when taking thyroid? What about specifically with nutri-pak?
If I stop taking thyroid, will I experience any side effects?
Is there anything that's absolutely essential that I should take with thyroid? My diet is mostly cottage cheese, orange juice, gelatain, coffee w/ sugar, carrot salad, grass fed ground beef, and potatoes.
