How long do I have to be on Beta-Blockers?

I have to admit that I am starting to feel better most days. However I also admit that taking ptu 3x's a day + the Beta-Blockers is becoming tiresome.

I don't see the Endo until September because my Free t-4 was in the normal range and believed I could go 3 months without seeing him.

" I'm on my way down weaning off of the beta blocker since my last thyroid labs showed me heading hypO. I've also whittled down the MMI as well. My next labs are going to be in eight weeks from the last labs and I will see the Doc too.

Figure out where you feel best within the range now. "
