A member asked:

I have hyperthyroid. i take my meds in 4weeks now, but i still hv a big appetite. need advise to control it.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hyperthyroid: After 4 weeks, you should be starting to feel better, although the full effects of antithyroid meds may take longer. Is 'big appetite' your only symptom? You don't say what meds and what dose. You may need to be on a higher dose, or need an adjustment. See your doctor.
