Ann, you can either skip your morning dose and take it at night or take your morning dose as usual and then take a night time dose. I'd do the latter. Make sure to skip your night time dose prior to your next blood draw and take it immediately after.

Thankyou Clutter, I will try the latter as you suggested.

Hi ann68

I take my Thyroxin at bed time, Instead of taking it at 6.30 am leave it to night time,

that way you are still getting the same amount of thyroxin in the day.

hope this helps .
