B 12 and B complex can be taken in the morning as long as it is 2 hours after Levo.

Vit D needs to be 4 hours away from Levo.

Why not take your levo at night - three hours after your last meal - then you can take what you like in the morning to ramp you up. :)

If taking vitamin D mouth spray it's not so critical

But as greygoose says, why not try taking Levothyroxine at bedtime

Many take Levothyroxine on waking, but it may be more convenient and possibly more effective taken at bedtime

See point 8 - what foods to avoid

Breakfast often has calcium rich foods
