Today my blood test results came back, still elevated TSH at 5.9, but at least lower than the 6.8 from a month ago. In the interim I'd upped my synthroid from 25 to 50 mcg. My doctor now tells me to go to 75.

When I asked him about taking it at night vs. day he said he didn't feel that it mattered too much... only that patients can tend to forget to take medication at night, so he advises doing it in the morning. I'm pretty good about that kind of thing and more concerned with maximizing the effectiveness of the med.

DavidCPA - any changes to your energy level, etc. from nighttime use yet?

thanks.

Ok, here's more: reading, and therefore becoming increasingly confused by, some synthroid dosing pages, I caught a cue that concurrent consumption of calcium is contraindicated. But I wasn't able to ascertain whether this was referring to supplements or, for example, milk. Does anyone have an insight into this issue? thx.
