Methimazole

Methimazole is a drug used to treat hyperthyroidism, a condition that usually occurs when the thyroid gland is producing too much thyroid hormone. It is also taken before thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine therapy, to lower thyroid hormone levels and minimize the effects of thyroid manipulation. more at Wikipedia

When I have the money I get my levels checked. When I don't have the money to get my levels checked the doctor just gives me whatever dose I was on for my last readings.

Methimazole worked quite well for me. I took it in varying dosages for just about a year with no side effects.

Sally44 (Hyperthyroidism)
I have had good and bad results. When I began taking this medication 2Xday 10mg. My numbers dropped into hypo when I put on alot of weight. I dropped meds down to 5mg. per day and my counts were fine. I had the Radioactive Iodine Scan that diagnosed me with Graves Disease. I have decided to continue on meds in hopes this will reverse itsself.
