I am over medicated on thyroid, so they cut me down by half. will i regain my weight once the meds kick in. is it normal to feel tired and sluggish?

Monitor: If your level normalizes on the new dose, you should be able to lose weight or gain weight just like everyone else. Keep close, follow up with your physician to ensure you won't be under medicated on the new dose. Serial lab testings are needed.
