Overmedicated!:(

Hi guys I have unfortunately had an erratic thyroid for about 5 years now that can't seem to be finely tuned and normalised!:(I have hyperthyroidism, antibodies, multi-nodular goitre but not noticeable.currently my tsh is 33.0- normal
Range 0.35-5.5. My free thyroxine is 5.0.normal
range 11.0-22.so as u can see I am pretty hypo.I have stopped the neo mercazole now and it's my fifth day without it. I am wondering how long it will take me to feel anyway remotely normal
Again? As I am not taking thyroxine.my endo advised me to atop the neo for a week to allow the thyroid to kick in again. Does anyone have any idea how long it will take my free thyroxine levels to rise again? Thank u

My story is a long complicated one. But I have a tendancy to be extremely sensitive to neomercazole and it can randomly hammer my thyroid totally, while other people tolerate a continuous lowered dose of neo during hypo periods, mine tends to be temporarily out of use, and can initially be slow to return,so in my case stopping neo for a short period allows my thyroid to recover then treatment resumes. If I continued taking a reduced dose of neo my thyroid would become more hypo.Hope this explains

Hi they have told me to stop neo mercazole for one week on the basis that I am profoundly hypo as indicated by the ft4 level.I will then resume medication on whatever dose they specify

On what basis are they changing your meds.  If it is TSH, that does not work.  TSH is a pituitary hormone that is affected by so many variables that it does not correlate well with either Free T3 or Free T4, much less with symptoms.
