Does everyone gain weight in Methimazole?

I’m newly diagnosed and just started the medication. I was fortunate and diagnosed about a month after I stated having symptoms. I only lost about 5 pounds. I don’t mind gaining that back, however, I don’t want to gain anymore than that. I feel like everyone talks about gaining. Has anyone not gained a bunch of weight? Thanks in advance!

What did you experience under the general anxiety symptom?

Hi, I have a question about the anxiety symptom… I feel like “anxiety” is soooo general.

For me it’s like being on the verge of a sad cry or angry outburst but not often crossing the line.

Obsessively worrying about every detail of every little thing to the pint of total distraction and not sleeping as a result.

Convincing myself I have an undiagnosed disease growing in my body.

Worrying about every detail of my family’s medical issues no matter how minor.

I ask not to be nosey but to consider whether these feelings I’m having are hyper-related or depression from lack of sleep. I have not yet started medication.

Fast heart beat after eating big meals

Anyone else feel exhausted and experience a very rapid heart beat after eating big meals? I assume it’s cause my metabolism is working much faster. 💁🏼‍♀️
