Thanks again for the information Kimberly, that has been what I’ve been reading as well. Definitely not worth risking the sweet spot!)

Thanks for your input adenure, I hope the 125mcg will get me to that sweet spot too! I’m already feeling my hypo symptoms really subsiding after being on the upped dosage only a week now. I will go back April 2nd to see where my levels are at, so hope this will get me there.

Thanks you for your input Kimberly, I just wanted to make sure that my doctor was basing her dosage decisions on the right information available in my labs. I will definitely have her check my Free T3 if I’m still having hypo symptoms down the road.

in reply to: Levothyroxine in morning or before bed? #1176506

Thank you for the quick advice, I really appreciate everyones input and suggestions!

I think I may as well stick with the bedtime regimen, as it’s more practical for my day-to-day routine; granted I’ve only been on the medication 5 days, I will be anxious to see what my lab results are toward the end of February.

I’m not sure how long it takes for the meds to build up in your system, but I can honestly say I feel more alert when I get up out of bed in the mornings since taking the pill. I could definitely tell over the last few weeks I was slowly experiencing hypo symptoms; especially feeling cold, tired and at times unmotivated, like I was dragging a heavy suitcase around with no sleep for 24-hours! I was still able to push myself to stay active and workout, but I could tell I was becoming increasingly sluggish and having that ‘not want to do anything’ feeling throughout the day.

Hopefully, in time, I will be back to feeling like my normal self. Thanks again everyone for your responses…
