Remission?

[Guest guest]

This is a question Barbara and others who have gone into remission with ATDS:

I've been on maintenance dosage of PTU (50mg). The only reason that I

continued to take it was for hot flashes and emotional lability. Since the

PTU was not elminating those symptoms, I thought I'd try going off the

meds. It's been 5 days now, and in general, I feel better. More energy,

less appetite, wake up easier. Only thing is, the hot flashes are

increasing, and so is the temper. Could you tell me how you decided it was

time to go off the meds, and if initially you experienced any symptoms from

going off ATDs? I'm afraid of getting too hyper, but I feel so much better

right now.

Thanks.
