Hello, Thanks for the query.
The anti-thyroid treatment is usually given for a period of 18 months or some times up to 24 months. In case if the level of TSH returns to normal earlier, then treatment is discontinued. Since you have not mentioned the duration of the treatment (how long the drug is being taken) or current TSH level, plus whether you have the symptoms of the disease, it is difficult to give any opinion. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.

Please check that. If you have been on treatment for just one month all the symptoms will not go away. Tsh value needs to come to around 3 to 4 mu or even a bit high. All the symptoms mentioned are seen in hyperthyroidism. The treatment needs to be taken for 18 to 24 months. In ...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Treatment for Hyperthyroidism with anti-thyroid drugs has to be continued for 12 to 18 months, some times up to 24 months. Once the TSH level comes to around 3 mU/L (0.5 to 5 mU/L), then drug is discontinued. Later TSH is checked on regular basis (every six moth). If it remains with in normal range, that means one is cured form hyperthyroidism.
Taking treatment for a few weeks is not good at all. It does not have any specific action. Thanks.
