Thanks for your comprehensive reply! After discussion with another MD, I am weaning down my methimazole to 2.5 mg every other day and recheck labs in a few weeks. My husband strongly feels like avoiding HYPERthyroidism problems is worth the chance of continued HYPO symptoms for a few weeks, and I guess I agree too…he had to live with me during the really rough patch.

Do you mean check for Hashimoto’s type antibodies?

I have to say I’m feeling a lot better since the day I posted this! T4 is down to 2.21!!! My endo likes to check labs every 2 weeks to avoid going too HYPO, which I’d like to avoid also. He also encourages me to call sooner if I develop any hypo symptoms and have the labs drawn sooner.
