Hyperthyroidism
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in March 2018. So my endo prescribed me with 10 mg tds neomercazole with inderal 20 mg tds and shelcal xt. Intially my tsh was 0.10 and t3 and t4 were slightly high after 6 weeks my tsh was 0.144 and t3 and t4 was within normal range and I was prescribed 20 mg nmz in morning and 10 mg in night. And then my tsh was 18 and t4 is low and t3 is normal. My endo reduced my dosage to nmz 10 mg twice a day but after 1 month my reports indicating low t3and t4 and tsh-81. I don't understand whether my doctor is treating me right or not.? Becoz tsh is too high.he is saying to reduce the dose to 10 mg once a day. Plz help

The approach of your endo is right. Graves D needs to be treated with NMZ and the dose needs to be tapered down to minimum required dose
