I assume you have a thyroid goiter & had hypothyroidism. After the levothyroxine, you now have too much circulating thyroid hormone. Large goiters may have irregular amounts of thyroid hormone that get into the system. Since this can be tricky in figuring out appropriate dosing, I recommend having a thyroidologist or an endocrinologist do your treating and follow-up care.The goiter should shrink
