For myself, even though my Endo said I could discontinue my Methimazole, I have always been reluctant to do so. I am on a very low dose of 2.5 mg about 3 times a week. As long as my values for FT3 and FT4 are in mid range and my TSH is anywhere between .80 and 1.5, I feel fine with this. If TSH drops down to .50, I add Acetyl L-Carntine 500 mg a day and Regular L-Carnitine 500 mg on the off days.I don't take Methimazole and this has worked for me. It usually makes my TSH rise, then I stop the Acetyl especially and only take the Regular L-Carnitine on the off days. More recently I have stopped that as well. While this has always taken a lot of adjusting on my part, I do not mind as long as I can keep my lab results where I want them and I feel good. I try to get my labs done every 6 weeks which is necessary if I have to adjust anything. My antibodies are usually only tested once a year and last test they were undetectable.
