Babymaker, thyroid problems affect us so much emotionally. I know you are having trouble with your dosage, have you though to split a 25 mcg tablet and take 87.5 instead of alternating 75 and 100?

I find I cannot cope very well with alternating doses, although I have done it, but I get on better if I take exactly the same dose at exactly the same time every night.

Hugs,

HI thank you for your reply...i was told to take mine in the morning..is it better at night? x

Some people have found they feel better when they take their dose at night.

You should take your dose on an empty stomach with a glass of water (either a.m. or p.m.) If you decide to try night time take it two hours after you have eaten.

If you can get a copy of your latest blood test results from your surgery and post them with the ranges, someone will comment. GP's shouldn't reduce doses according to your TSH that can make you feel worse. What they should do is ask how you are feeling.
