Overmedicated on Carbimazole
I have been hyper a number of times on/off for the last 10 years.
I was put on carbimazole 30mg for nearly a year with no hospital follow-up. Eventually I complained to PALS and was seen at the beginning of March.
My blood results from back then came back as showing underactive and my medication was reduced to 15mg. I had a retest a few weeks ago as advised by the consultant.
I’m sure that I am still showing signs of underactive thyroid. Some things are better but some still seem to be lingering.
Has this happened to anyone else and how long till you felt better? Did your GP/consultant put you on different amounts of carbimazole? I feel my consultant was being safe incase I went hyper again.
I really hate this feeling, I think I feel worse than I ever did being overactive. I genuinely can’t envision myself having RAI and being underactive.
I am also waiting for results to test if I have graves as this has actually never been done either!
