I currently have an under active thyroid, taking 125-150mg levothyroxine per day. I take the dose on waking in the morning with water and leave an hour before caffeine, and c. 1.5hrs before breakfast. My symptoms are still pretty bad. Has anyone got any thoughts/experience on decreasing caffeine intake that could improve symptoms?

What are your latest blood results (and ranges)? If you don't feel well, it's likely your dose needs adjusting - or your key nutrients improving - rather than your caffeine. If your GP just tests TSH and, if you're lucky, free T4, it would be worth splashing out on a full set of blood tests - so TSH, free T4, free T3, thyroid antibodies, ferritin, folate, vit D and B12.
