How long does it take for thyroid meds to work? meds were adjusted but levels are even more out of range after 3 weeks. am still having many symptoms!

Endocrinologist: Treating an underactive thyroid with thyroid supplements shows quicker results(days) than treating an overactive thyroid(week or 2). I recommend having a thyroidologist take over if you're not under control after 3 weeks..
