Methimazole is most commonly dispensed in the US in 10 mg. tablets but

also come in 5 mg. which can usually be neatly split in 2.

Please do. I'm not the tablet splitting maven around here.

14 months. I did NOT have the TSI test done before I went off and I

shouild have. I was also not managed well - I learned a lot the year I

was finished with the ATDs. My theory is that my GD was

hormonal/post-partum (this came afte rmy 8th child was born) so weaning

my baby had a lot to do with my remission.

Take care, Fay
