Two questions about levo at night or in morning

Hi there,

I currently take my levo first thing in the morning but sometimes find it a challenge to leave the gap required before supplements/coffee/breakfast.

So firstly I was wondering how to transition to taking it at night when I go to bed, and also if it's ok to take at the same time as amitriptyline.

Secondly I wondered if taking it at bedtime might help me feel a bit more alert in the mornings when I wake up.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Levo needs to be taken 2 hours away from anything else.

It is a storage hormone so just don't take your morning dose but take it in the evening. What you take today is not used today - it builds up in the system.

You don't need to take it morning or night - you could take it mid afternoon if that suited better. You also don't need to take it in one dose - it can be split into 2 or 3 doses if you want.

I've never heard it should be taken 2 hours away from anything else. I was advised that 45-60 minutes in the morning was enough?

It is 2 hours away from supplements and 4 hours away from vitamin D.

60 minutes from food and coffee

2 hours from most other supplements and medication.

4 hours away form vit D, iron, magnesium, calcium and oestrogen.

You get used to it.
