what do other people do? Take them sequential days, or spread them through the week a few days apart. i’ll be taking 100mcg 5 days, 112 mcg two days.
Just curious. My doc has no opinion on this.

Hi Shirley – Hopefully, others who are on Synthroid will chime in, but when I’ve been on a 5/2 schedule with my Methimazole, I always picked Monday and Friday as the “odd” days. Easy to remember and it spaces out the odd doses a little more evenly.

Shirley,

In theory, it doesn’t matter, since it takes so long to get a blood level (like six weeks). For compliance purposes, either do it like Kimberly suggested, or take the two doses on the weekend–whatever it takes to maintain consistency.

Take care,

Nancy

Hi Shirley!

I pm’d you- I hope it came through? I take the 112 mcg everyday except Tues. & Sat. I take the 100 mcg. on those days. Decided that seemed best- just totally random though. No real reason for those days. Although, I did forget which day I was on once and took the wrong pill. So, I just took the one I was supposed to have taken the following day.

Yep! Got it, and thank you, Alexis! I decided to post it on the forum, too, so it might be a subject someone else was interested in. Coincidentally, I decided on the same days you have chosen. Although, as Kimberly et al mentioned, I don’t think it makes that much difference.

We have both been through a lot (though I have raised my kids, and had one less than you!) I am so glad you are feeling relatively right side up now. About time!

Sorry I’m just seeing this post now and it looks like you already have some great answers but thought I’d add my experience, too.

I do 100 mcg. 5x a week and 112 mcg. twice a week and doc didn’t care what days I took which. I have no idea why but I chose Friday and Monday, too. I swear I feel a little hyper on the 112 days, but it’s probably just psychological.
