Hi Carito,

How have you been doing since your last post?
Did you decide to stop the Methimazole?

In my case, I started off with 5mg Methimazole on Sept 25 2012 and I stopped it on April 3 2013, when my TSH reached 6.4. I actually called my endo, freaking out at my weight gain, and he told me to stop.
I regret having stopped it, since I had a relapse 3 months later.
My TSH dropped down to 0.02 again, and so my endo put me back on Methimazole 2.5 mg a day (5 mg every other day.)
Had I remained on the Rx and perhaps lowered the dosage to 2.5 instead of stopping in on April 3rd, I would have maintained the normal range, I think.

Since then, my TSH is slowly going upward, however, my Antibodies still need to go down a bit.

Let us know know how you’ve been doing.

Take care,

Shakira7

Hi Caro,

I was perusing the posts. You have gotten some consistently good responses. Remember that WAND (We Are Not Doctors), but WASP (We Are Sensible Patients). All of the responses seem to be from people that have good experience with ATD’s. Listen to your body, Dialogue with your doctor, and get a second opinion if necessary.

Take care,

Nancy
