in reply to: GD but instead of wt loss – have wt gain #1072903

I never had the "rapid weight loss" that so many other people apparently have. All I did was maintain my weight and maybe gain a few pounds. Now after 9 months on methimazole I’m starting to gain the weight that my dr. spoke about. Oh well, I joined a gym so hopefully I won’t have to buy new pants anytime soon!

in reply to: Anybody feel like this after their dosage was decreased #1072820

I’d give it a week or more before calling the dr. Most symptoms will take that long to change with the change in dosage. My dosage got changed from 30mg/day to 20mg/day and after a few weeks I muscle cramps all over and very irritable and a general bad feeling. It turned out that the dosage was still to high and was bumping my numbers way to low. So I now take 10mg/day and am feeling great (relatively speaking).
