Experiences with

Methimazole

Diagnosis Graves’ disease, currently taking methimazole 5 mg twice daily. Also have AFib from high heart rate. mostrecent blood tests show t4 is now normal14. At worst was 53. T3 is 5.7 was 11.8. Problem is the the tsh is still .01. Ferritin only 24. How to increase Tsh ?

After 20 days on those medication I had joint pains and i asked from my doctor to come again at the dosage 25 methimazole/ day, levethyroxine 62mg and i felt good enough but i felt better without levothyroxine.

Therefore, methimazole was discontinued and replacement therapy gradually resumed until optimal hormone levels were reached.

More recently I have been on 2.5mg methimazole and for a few months things were stable, however after infections in recent months and a later a surgery, my symptoms seem to be spiking very aggressively. Is it possible that few infections have flared up my graves or thyroid again?

I started on Methimazole almost immediately. My numbers have gotten better but are still not controlled. The surgeon at MGH has recommended total thyroidectomy. I cannot do radioactive iodine because I also have Graves' induced Thyroid Eye Disease. This has been a shit year.

After December 28 labs on new years I eliminated methimazole for 3 days then resumed 5mg daily for 4 days then went to 10mg daily at the advice of my doctor. I felt pretty good for about 2 weeks until this week. I am now feeling achy and extra tired again.

Carbimazole converts very quickly to methimazole in the body so the side effects and adverse reactions are almost identical. Carbimazole and methimazole can [i]both[/i] cause agranulocytosis but this is a known and recognised adverse reaction.

Hello everyone, I’m seeking professional advice or insights from those who have experienced Graves' disease and recognize the symptoms. Background: I have Graves' disease, which began a year ago with a high heart rate of up to 230 bpm, diagnosed in January of this year. Until June, I was treated with

Was on methimazole and then taken off. I was taken off meds for about 6-12 months then went hypothyroid. Was diagnosed a couple of years ago with Hashimoto's. Now I am on Synthroid 0.112 mg (112 mcg) and skip one dose every other Friday (as recommended by my previous endocrinologist).

Hi all, I was hyperthyroid in 2003 treated with thiamazole, Hashimoto's hypothyroid in 2015, in 2018 TSI antibodies went up again, but I was left untreated for neither one thing nor the other. Then I started having these horrible awakenings (adrenaline surges), fatigue, tachycardya… it got better with

My graves was under control but when I thought I may have covid my doctor said to quadruple my dose of methimazole for a week. That was little over a month ago and wondering if this might be related to my hand and foot issues. Anyone have similar symptoms with hypothyroidism?

I was well controlled by Methimazole. Because you have to stay 6 feet away from other living things and undergo treatment at your own home, I didn't want to try RAI until my cat received the exact same diagnosis. He underwent RAI on 08/30/2021 and I did it the following day.

I am currently on 20 mg of Methimazole daily (up from 15 in the middle of December). TSH <0.01 (still! Has been this low for over a year) T4 Free 1.4 (0.8 - 1.8) T3 Free 3.9 (2.3 - 4.2) I am in the normal range for T4 and T3 for the first time in a year.

I went from 20 mg methimazole to 10 mg by taking 1400 mg berberine with 200 mg cinnamon daily. Now I take 933 mg berberine and 66.66 mg cinnamon daily. I get my levels checked in a month to see if I need to bring down berberine or methimazole again. I'm amazed how fast and how well it worked.

We have seen discussions about the effect of biotin on thyroid tests (TSH, FT4 and FT3). This paper has the singular advantage of concentrating on the results for a single person in particular circumstances. That means, we see the specific effects of the biotin on one assay but not on another. Very

I’ve had Graves’ disease and Toxic Multinodular Goiter for ten years and have been on both Methimazole and PTU at different points of time.

I’m taking methimazole, did this work for anyone else? Did your goiter go away and if so in how long .

After taking Methimazole, did anyone go into hypothyroid state and not be able to get back to euthyroid state? I'm scared to take the Methimazole. I don't like being on the heart meds either as I have always had faith in plant and food medicine (I don't even take Advil).

Her total daily medication dose is: 20 mg of Inderal (hydrochloride) and 7.5 mg of Tapdin (Methimazole) antithyroid, in part doses morning and evening.

Put on 10mg methimazole immediately and referred to Endocrinologist. New bloodwork August 17th TSH .24 , FT4 0.90, T3 0.82. Nuclear RadioIodine Uptake was %7 at hrs,6 17% at 24hrs.
