Multi dosing & food/drink

[Naomi8]

I took my T3 at 5.30am for 2 years.Now been on NDT for 2 years & done the same.

I would like to try splitting my meds & adding an afternoon dose,to see if it helps my afternoon slump.Please remind me:-is it no food or drink(apart from water) 2 hours before & one hour after dosing?Are there any exceptions?eg camomile tea?

The following might be helpful. It is by a doctor who also was an Adviser to Thyroiduk. Read 'safely getting well on thyroid hormones'.

The advice is take thyroid meds on an empty stomach, one hour before or two hours after food, with a glass of water and water only for one hour each side.
