If I have hypothyroidism and take Adderall which is known or said to cause hyperthyroidism, could the stimulant possibly correct the imbalance?

Garnet first I didn't know that. Have you seen an endocrinologist who would run a battery of tests on your thyroid gland. Love Phillipa

Garnet, If you have a thyroid problem you should take thyroid meds. What are the results from your blood tests if you have any?
