Wine and levothyroxine

I just started levothyroxine due to a total thyroidectomy. I’ve always enjoyed a glass or two of wine at night. I take my Levi at night. How long should I wait after my last glass?

I always leave at least 2 hours . Tend to take it when up for a wee at about 1 or 2 am

Before my TT I used to enjoy a bottle or two of ( rather expensive) spirits for my birthday and Christmas, but had to become teetotal when they began to taste rotten. Not had any for many years now.

Me too I’ve given it up as I feel as though it poisons me afterwards 🙄 the headache and the time it takes to leave the system put me off well and truly

Now spending even more on quality soft drinks, eg Rochester Rum and Raisin and Fentimans Sparkling Raspberry.
