Hi I am hypothyroid. I take 50mcg. synthroid every night at bed time. My dr. at my request added 5 mcg. t 3. I am presently taking t3 in the morning. My question is should I be taking both t3 and t4 at the same time or I doing it correctly now? Thanks

I don't think it's a problem with what you are doing. T3 is best in the morning but T4 can be taken at either time

Nanny23,

It's fine to take T4 + T3 at bedtime as long as it is 2 hours after food and drink.
