The answer to your question would depend on other factors.
The most common form of hypothyroidism is hashimoto's thyroiditis.
In that condition the body develops antibodies which attack the
thyroid. It can therefore be progressive in nature as more damage
is done to the thyroid over time by these antibodies. Have they testsed
your thyroid antibody levels to determine if this is the source of
your hypothyroidism? If not that might be something to check
If yes and you do have Hashimoto's, then you may go through
periods of  flares of thyroid problem followed by better period
but the overall trend over time is that the antibodies gradually
reduce thyroid function.

I have been first on 25mg levothroxin (generic of synthroid) for 1 1/2 
years then increased to 50 mg for the last year ....

At this years exam I was sent to get a thyroid ultrasound and am awaiting 
the results...

My question to anyone out there is that before I began the medication for 
hypothyroidism I had very few symptoms but the thyroid seemed a bit 
enlarged so they took the tsh put me on levothroxin, once on the 
medication it seems that I just keep developing more and more symptoms, 
weight gain, possible nodules...

Is there any way to get off this rollercoaster another way, I wish I had 
never started, maybe its just my imagination but it seems to be causing 
more problems than helping...
