    Yup. That happened to me. Taste was dulled while on the levo. It came back slowly when I went off.

      It's the same for me!  Not loving this process at all.  I get all ramped up to eat something I know I love and after a bite or two it's over.  UGH

      Yeah, it didn't occur to me that it was the meds until I went off and all of a sudden, things tasted the way they should.

    Why did you go off your meds?  What are you doing to control your thyroid issues?  I’ve been diagnosed now for a year and switched from Levo to synthoid
