Advice if anyone knows please

does anyone know if it is okay to take Venlafaxine (anti depressant) an hour after Levothyroxine when I eat my breakfast please?

I’m currently taking levo in the morning and the venlafaxine at night, but I think taking the venlafaxine at night is causing me sleep problems.

Don’t want to try taking it with my breakfast if it will interfere with the levo 🙄🙈

thank you

Suggest you move levothyroxine to middle of night or very early morning (around 5-6am)

Or try levothyroxine at bedtime

Levothyroxine always on empty stomach…..then leave at least an hour minimum between levothyroxine and anything other than water

At least 2 hours between levothyroxine and any medication
