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

I gained about 10 pounds on methimazole. I didnt have any other side effects. I was on it for a year and they stopped it a few months ago to see if it worked. Its been 3 months and my levels are starting to normalize!
