Lost 20 lbs that i couldn't afford to loose due to graves induced hyperthyroidism. on tapazole (methimazole) 1month. when will weight come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Control: Hi. The weight will come back after the hyperthyroidism is controlled. 4 weeks on methimazole cannot yet be assured to control the hyperthyroidism. The weight will come back, don't worry.
