graves anxiety and shakiness

I recently increased my dosage of tapazole because I had a return of symptoms, particularly anxiety and nervousness.  The symptoms are worse in the morning and subside by late in the day.  How long will it take for the increase in meds to curb the edginess I am feeling and why is it worse in the morning?

you may want to have your blood checked to make sure that your symptoms are due to your thyroid and also to adjust the dosis based on actual levels

Usually takes 10-14 days, may be worse in am b/c tapazole is a 20-24h med in terms of effect -- depending on dose and response to recent increase, taking 1/2 the dose in am and 1/2 in evening may help.
