switching my Levo med time yes,no?
For many people, either taking a dose morning and evening, or taking a half-tablet on either occasion, or even skipping the morning dose entirely would make little difference. You might or might not be one of these people!
I have never switched - I started and continue on bed-time dosing. We have had a number of people ask similar questions and I think most ended up fine whatever they did.
To be blunt, you are expecting too much, too soon. Even if your dose is perfect and you are well on the road to full health, it does take time. You didn't get ill in a few weeks; you won't completely recover in a few weeks. It is tough and can be very disappointing. Suggest think good thoughts that you are travelling on the right road and in the right direction so you will reach your destination in time.

I used to take my Levo when I woke up, about an hour before breakfast. However, I changed and for the last 2 or 3 years, I have been taking it all at night when I go to bed which is usually anytime around midnight to 1.30am. And I have to say that I feel it has made a big difference. I would give it a go and see how you get on but as mentioned, don't expect to feel differently instantly - being hypo you learn that patience is a very necessary virtue!
