| 2 | Hyperthyroidism | I think starting on lower dose like 5mg/10mg is always the best. After taking this and 2.5mg propranolol I have having brain fog. Thou hyperthyroidism is normal but I still have heart palpitations and this brain fog is still worrying. My GP has made me stop both. | M | 34 | 3 weeks 20mg 1X day | 11/5/2022 | 3 | Graves Disease | Low blood pressure, light headedness, awful blurry vision and shortness of breath when moving. My blood pressure is suddenly very low. Will discuss with the doctor. | F | 63 | 35 days 5 2X day | 10/7/2022 | 3 | Hyperthyroidism | Joint and muscle pain. Loss of hair. Inflammed nerves. Numbness. Tingling | F | 79 | 0 weeks 2.5 mg 1X day | 2/7/2021 | 5 | Hyperthyroid | No effects has been a life saver๐๐ป๐๐ป | F | 62 | 15 years 5mg 1X day | 8/18/2020 | 3 | multi nodule goiter hyperthyroidism | It really helps with the hyper symptoms, but the muscle and joint soreness is a big drawback. Dr. says that is caused by methimazole. I cannot decide which is worse, but I think the hyper symptoms are, so I'll keep taking methimazole, even though the body pain is pretty bad. | F | 2 days 5 mg 1X day | 9/24/2018 | 5 | Hyperthyroidism | I first started taking 20mg, that helped my symptoms of rapid heart beat and anxiety, but after a couple of months I noticed I started having itchy hands, so the doctor placed me on 10mg and I no longer had that side effect. Im now down to taking only 5 mg three days a week and feeling very good. | F | 36 | 2 years 5mg | 1/30/2018 | 5 | hyperthroidism | NONE!!!! no problems or side effects at all | That pesky little butterfly throat gland can raise havoc in ones body, believe me.... | M | 63 | 24 months 5mg 1X day | 6/8/2015 | 5 | Hyperthyroidism (Graves) | None | Successfully lowered my thyroid hormone production. Unfortunately, i still felt on verge every day all day, so I was prescribbed low dose of propranolol which took care of this by lightly slowing me down. | F | 39 | 14 months 5 mg 1X day | 1/13/2015 | 5 | hyperthroidism-multinodular goiter | It brought my pulse down from the 100's to 75-85. My hand tremors have lessened, and I don't have to run to the bathroom many times a day. | F | 58 | 6 months | 7/16/2006 |
