    I went from hypo, to hyper tried all other med, they made me tired, nausea, and my heart was still racing. Tried this med 4days ago 50mg only once a day it helped immediately. The bitter taste is horrible, but I learned some tricks due to this site.

    Just started taking propylthiouracil 100mg two times daily. Had to get off of Methimazole 10mg once a day due to an allergic reaction. Hope this works well.

    Medicine worked and helped my thyroid normalize again, but I developed bad hives which was embarrassing for awhile, so I didn't give it 5-stars.
