Feel rubbish after morning meds ……

[Anon_77]

I’m on combination T4:T3 (more T3 than T4 tho)

Over the past year or so I’ve noticed when I wake up I’m feeling pretty good and normal, until I take my medications - then I start to get slight headache and low blood sugar. It’s noticeable that I won’t feel as good as before the meds - this can happen with less or more in my regime (changes over the last year )

Day times I defo need the medication to feel good again I just would love to know why it would make me feel worse in mornings

i take meds with water no food 7am and wait an hour for food.

Anyone else get this ?

Might it be that by the time you wake in the morning the effect of your dose has reduced causing you to feel better

Taking the morning dose then raises the level again and you feel symptomatic.

As mentioned previously I suspect you may be overmedicated .....but we have no test results!

That was my thought too ….possibly over medicated

hi yes your right I do need the test to check ! I’m onto it today. However what confuses me is that during the day and night if I get severe hypo the dose helps me ! Yet mornings it’s off …. Very tricky one … I will wait for test thanks 🙏🏽

you definitely need tests done, but that said, I wonder if a rearrangement would help? Are you still taking Levo in mornings - it might help if you move it to bedtime? Then you may need to redistribute t3 too.

actually you have a point here !! Bedtime dosing might work better for me now I’m only on a small amount and take more of my T3 ! I tried T4 night dosing once and it didn’t work too well but I wasn’t on as regular T3 as I am now ! Thank you a great tool I could look at
