I am on 100mg of Toprol...and was on 40mg of Methimazole. Still have symptoms, so my meds were upped to 60mg of Methimazole. I am still breastfeeding, my 6 month old baby, that is on some solid foods. I am getting pressured to stop breastfeeding. I need to know if it is safe to continue. The endocrinologist says it's fine..but any info you look up says it's not unless it is less than 20mg. Please help!! I was just “assumption” diagnosed with Graves disease.
