Unclear question: You don't say what medication or what it is being taken for. Fatigue is common with both hyper and hypothyroidism, although there are differences. As your thyroid level starts to normalize (either going down or up), there could be some temporary worsening of symptoms, since you body has become used to the prevailing level of thyroid hormone.
