How to treat overactive thyroid?

I've been feeling quite restless, losing weight without trying, and always feeling hot, and my reports show an overactive thyroid. The doctor has mentioned medication, but I want to understand more about the treatment process. What are the general ways to treat an overactive thyroid?
