Other symptoms (besides weight loss) of hyperthyroidism include amenorrhea, increased blood pressure, exophthalmous (bulging eyes),and tachycardia to name a few. Therefore, I think you should continue your meds unless a doctor is telling you not to do so. Hopefully the medicine will put you at a balance between hyperthyroidism (exessive metabolism) and hypothyroidism.
