Red Eye Problem
Updated
Karen Says:
I stopped taking levothyroxine a few weeks ago and have started having
red blood shot eyes that do not respond to eye drops of any kind. Allergy, dry eyes , etc. Can stopping levothyroxine cause red , watery eyes and if I restart taking it will the symptoms of the red eyes disappear? If so, how long will it take?

Why did you stop taking it? Did your doctor instruct you to stop taking it?
Levothyroxine is used to treat thyroid disorders, and if you have an issue with your thyroid that requires the taking of it, you are likely to require it for the rest of your life.
Ref: Levothyroxine Information
As to the red eyes, there is a chance it's from Thyroid Eye Disease, though it usually also involves ocular swelling, and generally accompanies Graves' Disease.
What Thyroid condition do you have? Have you consulted your doctor about the red eyes?
