Hi

Thanks for writing in.
If you have been gaining weight along with feeling weak, this could be due to under dosage of thyronorm and not overdosage.

I would advice you to please get your blood levels of T3, T4 and TSH tested and alter the dose of thyronorm as necessary.

Hope this helps! Please get back to me if you have any further questions.
