Why- any more explanation? Lost weight with hypothyroidism? Are you Hashimoto's?

Always take Levo on empty stomach and then nothing apart from water for at least an hour after.

GP often says take on waking, but it may be more convenient and possibly more effective taken at bedtime. Might help you feel more like breakfast too

Many people find Levothyroxine brands are not interchangeable. Once you find a brand that suits you, best to make sure to only get that one at each prescription. Watch out for brand change when dose is increased
