I have recently been told I have low thyroid activity and was given medication which I have been taking for about a week now.

My question is: Have any of you gained weight on these meds? I was just looking on Johns Hopkins Medical site and it was stated there that it is not uncommon for a patient to gain up to 5 to 10 lbs. This is not good news but I suppose we do what we need to do, weight gain or not. You would think you would lose weight when you have an underactive thyroid,

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences!
