Last fall, I went on tapazole (40 mg) for hyperthyroid.  Within two
months, my thyroid levels were normal.  My doctor told me to come
back in four months.  Well, after three months, I was feeling horrible:
tired, weak, depressed, etc.  Went back to doc early and found my
thyroid levels were significantly BELOW normal -- in other words, I was
HYPO thyroid.  He told me to stay off tapazole for the weekend, and
then to go back on at 20 mg. a day.  Has anyone had a similar
experience. Does this advice make sense?  I'm not feeling any better,
and afraid of feeling worse still.
