How Can Excessive Weight Gain While On Carbimazole Be Reduced?

Hi, I have been gaining weight whilst taking Carbimozole for hyperthyroidism and I am really getting desperate. I work out and eat probably 800 calories a day and still the weight increases. I am on 5mg of C... a day but I am still gaining weight. I feel as thought I am heading towards depression as I no longer want to go out and be around people. I am a bridesmaid at my brother s wedding and I do not know what size dress I should be asking them to buy for me because my weight is going up all the time. Please help?

stopping carbimazole doesn't help.... other options are RAI and thyroidectomy,but better get your levels tested....and check if you are overmedicated
