From hyper to hypothyroidism
by anneseno, Jun 26, 2009 04:07AM
I have been taking 30mg of methimazole for more than a month now. My latest ft4 result is below the normal range, although i haven't had my tsh checked. My endo put me on 10mg of methimazole for more than a month, until my next check up. Am I hypothyroid now? Is this a cause for concern? Why am I put on 10mg methimazole for more than a month, won't it make me more hypothyroid?
Is my endo correct in this treatment? I'm thinking of changing my doctor cause this has me really worried. I want to have a normal ft4, not to be hypo. thanks.

yes this is common, your dr is trying to control your hyper with the meds, they may need adjusted frequently, i have graves and my meds were adjusted every visit, some times i would become hypo then have meds adjusted again and again, 50mg , 25,10,15 and now finally rai up and down hope this helps
