Hello,
Good day
RAI treatment can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months to be efective. Yes, there is a fair chance of development o hypothyroidism after RAI treatment.
It takes around 3-4 weeks for the thyroid pill to improve your symptoms.
Please visit an endocrinologist who can discuss in person
