Hi,
Welcome to HCM
You are Hypothyroid and when you take treatment for it like you took 100Mcg (Thyronorm) it is usually seen patient lose weight which is more due to edema which disappears.
You have to balance the dose of thyroid hormone other wise excess can cause problem of over thyroid problem so it is correct to reduce the dose of Thyronorm.
If there is some weight gain take care of your diet and increase your exercise to maintain weight as that is more appropriate way to keep fit and ideal weight.
Next time check freeT3,FreeT4 and TSH and take your thyronorm regularly.
Take care.
Good Luck

Hi,
Thyronorm is not the cause of your weight gain. In fact it can help you in shedding weight. You can control weight gain by proper diet & regular exercise.
Wish you good health.
