Carbimazole is used to treat hyperthyroidism. It prevents the peroxidase enzyme from coupling and iodinating the tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin, hence reducing the T3/T4. more at Wikipedia

Been on Carbimazole for 4 weeks and feel really well

First had to take Carbimazole with proprananol, proprananol made me feel exhausted.

Started off with 9 x 5mg tablets per day. Three months on, am now on 6 tablets a day.

They seem to be working, however I have gained a considerable amount of weight in the three months I've been on the treatment. (Aprox. 4-5kg).

Have been on Carbimazole since December 2007. started off on 20mg daily, then 15 mg, then 10 mg, then 5 mg, now nothing, as my T4, T3 and TSH levels are all normal as of August 2008. I had about 4 months of worrying hair loss but that slowed down and then stopped when my hormone levels normalised. Looks like pregnancy triggered my Graves', and it will probably crop up again with future pregnancies.
