Synthroid is for Hypothyroid. Why does your doctor have you on meds for both Hypo and Hyper at the same time. It sounds like the meds are just counteracting against each other.

Yeah, why would you be on both??

Dear - I do believe it's time for a second opinion.

Thanks for the reponse! : )

I'll be looking into it and finding yet another Endo.

Ohh yea I take methamazole 2.5 mg. I was taking it everyday and than they switched to every other day. The adjustment brought on everything. Doc says it takes a few weeks for everything to level out and catch up. But, If you still dont feely right call your Doc. Its 2007 its Graves Disease theres no reason to suffer and they should figure out something to do in the meantime till everything catches up

A lot of Endos now are doing what they call B & R (block and replace).
It is allowing the patient to be on ATDS to block the thyroid and yet also replace with Thyroxin so as not to go Hypo.
Its basically a maintanance dose once a suitable level has been reached and its also a goal to aim for remission.
If your Endo has you on both then dont complain as many people fight for years to go on B & R.
As I said...it stops HypeR by ATDS and stops HypO by replace.
It has been around worldwide for years and is finally being recognised as one way to try and achieve remission from Graves.

Sorry Danny...forgot to mention....get yr Doc to decrease the Thyroxin a little and while doing B & R, it is important that labs be done every 4-6 weeks as the thyroid can chage even day to day.
There have been quite a few successful cases from this practise but it also has to be monitored carefully by your Doctor and usually this treatment requires at least 2 years dedication by both the Doctor and the patient.
Hope that clears that up.
