Can the wrong doseage of thyroxine for hypothyroidism lead to hyperthyroidism?

Hyperthyroidism: Too much of thyroid hormone medication may cause symptoms of hyperthyrodism; but it is unlikely to cause the thyroid gland itself to become hyperactive.

Yes: Too much thyroid medication will cause hyperthyroidism. You need blood tests to confirm this.
