Parkinson's medications and T3 interactions?

[chrysalis56]

I've been hypothyroid for decades, in recent years self-dosing T3 (split dose - 50 mcg AM, 50 mcg afternoon, 12.5 mcg evening). Recently, I was formally diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (informally undiagnosed for years), and now my doctor put me on gradually increasing doses of a Levodopa/Carbidopa combo (Dopicar; 250 mg Levodopa, 25 mg Carbidopa, manufactured by Teva).

Might anyone know whether T3 and Parkinson's medications interact, if taken at the same time?

Other than that, I remain extremely fatigued.

My thanks for your kind attention,

Although T3 isn’t as fussy as levothyroxine I would still always take well away from any other medications

Thank you, SlowDragon. Depends on what you imply by "well away." That could be a problem for my early morning dose, since I leave the house about half an hour after I take my meds. I'll think about this.

With best wishes,

A good Pharmacist would possible know.

Brightness14, consulting with a pharmacist is a very good idea. I'll try that, and see what she says.

All the best,
