timings of a split dose

hello all!

I've started splitting my dose in 2.

45mg Erfa and 50mcg levo at around 8:30am and then 60mcg erfa around 8:30pm

How accurate do I have to be on timing?I'm struggling to tale my evening dose consistently at the same time at the moment but I was wondering how important it is to take it at exactly the same time?

sometime I'll take it at 7pm sometimes as late at 10pm.

It doesn't have to be precise. I generally take my doses around the same time but with a lie in can be 2 hours out with the morning dose and with a late night an hour out with evening dose. I take my evening dose at bedtime and find that it suits me. You could try. T3 is needed throughout the night for our brain and gut to work. T3 is naturally highest around 4am. this is why I thought I go with a bedtime dose.

This was really reassuring, thank you. I think I might try a bedtime dose. An afternoon/evening dose is a real stress!

Hi, how do you feel on this dose? I think the highest dose should be taken in the morning(50 levo &60mcg ndt ), when you wake up and the lowest(45mcg) at noon.

Yes, alright on this dose. I'm not where I want to be but fine enough!

I've just switched to highest dose in the morning so I'll see how that goes. thank you

Hey can I ask why you take both erfa and levo? It's something I've considered doing because I believe I'm sensitive to the full t3 dose. I thought maybe adding t4 would get my levels optimum without the hot sweats and nervous feeling form t3.

hello!

My consultant suggested it as a way to wean me off levo but I've since found that I need some levo to keep my T4 as high as I need.
