I'm really worried because I've been taking methimez 20mg, as prescribed for my hyperthyroidism, but now I've been dealing with hypothyroidism for a year. Should I still be taking the same dose, or is there an adjustment needed? I'm feeling confused and concerned about whether I'm on the right track with my treatment.
