hai,
Proper dosage of medicine considering your clinical symptoms should be addressed.
as your symptoms are not getting down with the dose kindly visit your endocrinologist to fix the dose .
weight loss cannot be happen in 3 to4 days. you should wait and watch it in a month period.
should rule out other possible causes too.
kindly visit your treating physician and get an opinion.
Thanks and regards
