Synthroid in the morning
Common Questions and Answers about Synthroid in the morning
synthroid
Is it due to the fact that milk has protein that one should avoid it in coffee in the morning? And if so what about protein for the rest of the day? Do you know if there also is a limit then on protein in breakfast itself? This is something my doctor has not talked to me about? I too wonder about any protein? Since I take synthroid, do you know how that works,? You said it is a good idea to take all vitamins 4 hrs. after taking synthroid, could this be the same with protein?
However, the depression is still here, I still get tired, and my toes and fingers get uncontrollably cold lately. I also started getting slightly sick in the morning about an hour after taking the Synthroid. My last blood test showed TSH of 0.1mIU/L. I really would like to get normal blood levels as my husband and I were hoping to start a family and we were told that only when all is stabilized it is safe for me to get pregnant. What would you recommend for the next step?
You could try keeping your Synthroid at night and moving your Cytomel in the later part of the morning. I guess around 11 am. What time at night are you taking it?
Another thought could be your adrenals are tired. If you were/are hypoT for a long time - the adreanls are forced to work very hard to try and keep up with the imbalance. They eventually will become off too.
The symptoms you describe are very common in fatigue of the adrenals.
The e on the end of the word has been driving me crazy, but after a half hour of Googling, I'd have to say yes.
Levothyroxin is not listed in the pharmacuidical referrences I have looked at, except for a German one. Levothyroxine is listed as the generic form of Synthroid, Levoxyl, etc.
The missing e on the end may be a typo or may be how a particular manufacturer markets their generic Levothyroxine.
005 uIU/mL , that was before dropping the Armour and lowering the Synthroid. In December it changed to 0.209 uIU/mL. I am so tired of being tired and not having enegy, and just don't know who to turn to at this point. It seems everyone only looks at the TSH levels and won't really look further.
Thank you for any advise you can offer!!
Good luck and always make sure that your doctor is checking your FREE T3 as well as the free t4 and TSH. This is because the synthetic t4 Synthroid must convert to the active t3 within your body. Many doctors who prescribe SYNTHROID ONLY, just assume this conversion is happening, but never check the freet3 levels to see for sure. The free t3 is the hormone that is available for the proper function of the body.
I made a couple of comments on another thread that you had posted on.
I'm sorry to say that I think your doctor doesn't know what he's doing. Adding T4 to an FT4 that is already at the top of the range is only going to increase it even further. This makes no sense at all.
25 mcg Cytomel is roughly equivalent to 100 mcg Synthroid. So, your dose is now the equivalent of 125 mcg Synthroid higher than it was when you were on 50 mcg Synthroid only. That is a HUGE increase.
Just got new script for Synthroid combined with Cytomel and my Endo wants me to take the Synthroid and half the dose of the Cytomel in the morning and the rest of the Cytomel in the evening. My question is if there is anyone who has a similar script, do you take the evening dose before bed or before dinner?
Thanks.
Could 200 mcg in the evening on Sun. that greatly affect the tsh in the morning? I was so happy and confused about the sudden drop and then I realized the synthroid had to be the reason.
In addition, I believe I''ve suffered high cortisol levels from stress for a long time and am beginning to see possibly some autoimmune effects on my organs because my kidney function is insufficient I found out this year.
All I can do is try to get in and which I did one day and had the same reaction with a high poles waking me up in the morning when I was still on the Synthroid and just starting out on it 10 days as I mentioned earlier.
I was 1 million times it was something else and I could just fix that not even have to deal with these medications or something as easy as supplementing stress due to a Cortisol level but as I was told all I can do is just try to take it again.
I took the Centrum late at night with dinner (to avoid interference with the levo in the morning). The Centrum gave me chest pains and other discomfort. So, I stopped taking the Centrum. After I stopped taking the Centrum (and during the last few weeks of this 8-week period), my hypothyroidism symptoms came back (soreness in arms and legs, other symptoms).
After that 8-week period of 125-mcg levo, my blood test was as follows:
TSH = 1.919, and Free T4 = 1.
No, you can have liquid, (of course a beer first thing in the morning doesn't count!!!) but not food. The Synthroid will attach to the food and be digested, the liquid in your tummy is digested but also is not digested in the same way as food.
It is preferable to wait but it is more the food which is the problem.
