Will thyroid medication help me lose weight?

It should help you once you get to your optimum dose which does take some time. You will be retested every 6 wks until then.

You should ask the doctor to add Cytomel.

You should also take Selenium, Folic Acid, D3, Zinc, and B Complex.

Take your meds right. Take 1st thing, on empty stomach, & do not eat (or coffee) for 1/2 hr. Also, if you take calcium, iron or acid reducer, do not take for 3 hrs.

You need testing for thyroid ANTIBODIES as well as TSH. TSH ‘norm’ should be .3 – 3 (w/ most feeling best at < 2) but, for diagnosis, may not mean much if ANTIBODIES are present which is indicative of Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroiditis (cycles between HYPER & HYPO at start)…it is the main cause of eventual HypOthyroidism.

WARNING: Doctors seem not to want to find/treat thyroid disease. You may have to go to more than one doctor before you get the right tests, interpretation, and treatment. Best wishes.

What medicine should I take to gain weight?

Before answering the questions few things you should have told us like your Height, and Current Weight/ BMI etc, Age, Food habits etc etc.For some people, gaining weight or adding muscle can be just as difficult as losing weight.Well in market there are lot of medicine/supplements available to gain good weight like Oxandrolone, Oxymetholone, Methyltestosterone etc but trust me you should be staying out of all these stuffs coz there are a hell lot of consequences of these medicines.Its always better to trust on natural foods like Fruits i.e, Banana etc, Dates with Milk, Nuts and Butters, Potatoes and Starches. Protein Supplements also benefits in this case. If you are a non-vegeterian, you can see remarkable changes with Red Meats, Salmon and Oily Fish, Eggs, Chicken…The secret behind gaining weight is consistently eating more calories than you need. Lifting weight is important too, so that the additional calories can be used to build muscle instead of just adding fat.Incorporate the foods on this list into meals and meal plans that you enjoy and can stick with over the long term.All the best!!!

My Doctor has me on Levoxyl for hyperthyroidism. I weigh 95 pounds on a good day.

Not fun being skinny in a fat world, huh?
