Hi,

Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting the question

The symptoms of hypothyroidism take longer time to recover.
Once started on medications the symptoms start improving by 2-3 weeks and it may take about 3 months for complete resolution of symptoms.

The thyroid function test will normalise by 6 weeks. So you can do a test after 6 weeks and decide whether the medication dose is appropriate.

Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you.

Regards,

Dr Ajish TP [MD,DM]
