synthroid

Avatar f tn that is in my case. I take my milk in my coffee with my synthroid ev morning for 3 yrs now and doing well all around.
1355431 tn?1369975306 Most people split the Cytomel dose in half and take half with their Synthroid first thing in the morning. They take the second half later in the morning or early afternoon. Cytomel is very fast acting and quickly neutralized by your body if not used promptly. That's why you feel tired again after just a few hours. Most people don't take it at night as it can disturb sleep, plus they need the boost most during the day to stay active.
Avatar n tn I keep my water and pills on my night stand. The first thing I do after turning the alarm clock off is to take my synthroid. That way, I'm not taking it too close to breakfast. By the time I get up and get my girls started with their morning routine, there has been plenty of time between pill and breakfast. If you shower in the AM, take your med first thing and then start your morning. The 30 min to an hour will go by quickly.
Avatar n tn I take it first thing in the am with my Levothryoxine. I don't take it later in the day because it makes it impossible for *me* to sleep. Doesn't effect everyone that way though. If you've never taken it b4 you'll have to experiment and see how you feel.
Avatar n tn If I take my synthroid on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, do I need to wait before drinking my morning coffee?
Avatar n tn but it made me feel very bad, so doctor changed me to brand name synthroid. When I take mine in the morning it makes me feel sick, shakey, nauseated. Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar m tn aslo i have been taking this in th morning and i realised that my apetite increased big time and i have added about 25 kgs.now my endo has asked me to take synthroid in the night before i go to bed.
1139187 tn?1355706647 I just swallow it with water at the same time every morning. I take my entire dose at once. In order to manage my dose my doctor check my levels every two or three months and ask me how I am feeling. There is no standard dose.
Avatar f tn It all changed after my diagnosis. I take my levothyroxine +cytomel at night. If I take it in the morning i feel nervous. At night I don't notice any difference.
Avatar f tn My heart even races when I am in bed at night. Do you find it hard to get moving in the morning? I take my synthroid at 7:00 am and it still takes me 3 to 4 hrs. before I can funtion like a human being. I've tried taking it at different times, but this time slot is a little better.
Avatar f tn I just picked up a 25mcg prescription of Cytomel. I already take 100mcg Synthroid in the morning. What's the best time of day to take the Cytomel? My dr. said in the evening, but I heard it causes insomnia if taken that late. Also, should I take the whole dose at once or split it in half?
Avatar f tn He said I just need to take the 75mcg synthroid and the 25 mcg of cytomel. in two months he will check my blood. I don't think I will do that! I will still cut my doses of synthroid and cytomel. i cut the 75 in 1/2. and the cytomel, which i might say is almost impossible to cut even, in 1/4. so i am getting 37.5 of synthroid and 6.25 mcg of cytomel. Does that seem about right? with my t4 being 1.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Well, I received my Naturethroid 1 grain yesterday and am ready to go off of my Synthroid 125 mcg and try it. This morning I broke the pill in half as I am leary of how it will affect me, and tried to let it dissolve under my tongue. I did this because I heard it could cause nausea, which I have a tendency towards. Well, I do not think it is supposed to dissolve.
Avatar n tn I have to take calcium three times a day, so it is hard for me to take my thyroid at a time that is 2 hours before or after calcium. I take my thyroid with my calcium in the morning. My dosage was regulated while I was doing that. If you change the way you take your medicine, expect to have to have it adjusted. My endo. keeps me regulated to the nth degree.
Avatar f tn The thyroid issue is probably the underlying cause so taking the synthroid (or generic) should take care of it. I am on 75 mcg and it has worked great. I once accidentally doubled up and that may have caused a PVC run. The only inconvenience with that is you can't eat for an hour after taking it in the morning. Otherwise, side effects are rare.
535882 tn?1396576685 Most people take Synthroid fisrt thing in the morning, but it all depends on what works best FOR YOU. You absorb it much better if you take it on an empty stomach, although consistency is what's most important. TSH and FT3 will NOT change a lot depending on when you take it, as long as you're consistent.
Avatar n tn I Take mine first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. My prescription bottle even has it in print "take in the morning". It also states do not take within 4 hrs of taking antacids, iron or vitamins, or mineral supplements. Take with plenty of water.
Avatar n tn #3 If you put #1 and #2, above, together, you have just discovered the reason why some people opt to take a combination of synthroid (T4) and T3, rather than T4 alone. That way they can get their FT3 to mid-point without ramping up their FT4 (or driving down their TSH). #4 What's wrong with driving up your FT4? T4 is converted to both T3 and Reverse T3 (RT3) in approximately equal amounts.
451191 tn?1264432890 I usually take it as soon as I wake up, but forgot to this morning! Ack! I had TT in April and RAI in May...am I going to be hurting today because I didn't take it? From what my doctor says, the medication builds up so I shouldn't notice a dip in energy or anything like that...of course I feel tired now and I'm blaming it on this. Help!
Avatar f tn I started on Synthroid 25 mcg around 5/29/08. I was talking it at night, around 9pm for 4 weeks, then I switched to the a.m. The reason I started it at night was because the Endo said if I was going to take a multivitamin (One A Day for example) in the morning, then take the Synthroid at night. I stopped taking the vitamins( not for any particular reason). So I decided to take the Synthroid in the morning. ( just easier to remember to take it). I do not feel any difference.
519035 tn?1348275773 I feel as tho when I take my pill in the morning it just feeds it. I feel so much better before I take it. Is it possible????
Avatar f tn No - most of us that take T3 medication take one dose in the morning with our T4 medication (if you take that in the morning), then take the second dose about noon or early afternoon. It's typically, not recommended to take T3 after about 3:00 pm because it can interfere with sleep. Another thing is that you're taking a larger dose in the morning and it kicks in quickly, but since T3 is fast acting, it's worn off before you take that 6:00 dose.
Avatar n tn I have taken 50mcg of synthroid for 11 years in the morning, about 1 hour before breakfast and taking my calcium and aspirin. About 4 weeks ago, a pharmacist told me I should take my synthroid 4 hours apart from my calcium and aspirin. So I started taking my synthroid about 2 1/2 hours before breakfast and 5-6 hours before calcium and aspirin.
