HI,
Im HYPOthyroid taking synthroid 200mcg + doc put me on Armour thyroid 60 mg. im gaining weight. Don't understand why. is here some relationship with overactive thyroid? i wuld think opposite. my test result shows im overmedicated...thyreotoxicosis TSH 0.01, T3, t4...behind the normal range. i exercise 6-7 days ( weights+ lot of cardio, high intensity)

im female 5'6" 32 115lb

strange....you basically went from under to over active? what are your reference ranges on the labwork? and this question would be better for the HRT section more than likely

Do you plan out a diet and follow it to the letter? If not, you could just be eating more.
