I imagine you are over replaced with Carbimazole and have become hypo, instead of hyper. Ask your GP for a new blood test and post results. It may be that your thyroid is now producing too little T4 and the dose of Carb should be reduced accordingly. When do you last have a blood test? Do not stop taking Carb, however, as being overactive is not what you want either. Must find the right balance! Are you under and Endo? Perhaps you should ask for an appointment to discuss your weight gain and any other symptoms.

Hi

when hyper many people can and do put on weight as well as lose it. It is common to overeat due to feeling hungry. When on carb it can be hard to lose it. It will move when or if you go into remission.

if you stop the carb you will be vrry ill and ar risk of a thyroid storm and possibly death. The meds are not optional. Get your bloods checked to see how your levels are but dont stop just to lose weight.
