Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

While taking gout medication you may experience side effects, but not taking thyroid medication may cause weakness and vomiting. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Stop gout medication and please consult your physician immediately, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
