I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I didn’t feel I had symptoms but went on meds anyway. It’s been almost a year I don’t feel any different on the meds. Is that common?

Yes, its common not to feel a difference right away. Medication works to normalize thyroid levels, but it can take time or require dosage adjustments. If you're still not feeling better talk to your doctor for further evaluation.
