A member asked:
After 1mo of taking methimazole, my ft4 37.7 became 12.3 & tsh 0.008 to 0.005. is it normal that my tsh would drop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Tsh takes a long time to change. Your T4 is dropping so the med is working. You won't normalize your TSH for probably 3 or more months.
