I have Hashi and am taking thyroxine. I have noticed too that I can't tolerate alcohol as well as i used to. It also makes me quite depressed now and often even with only light use i can't remember the night before.I think it also makes my joint and muscle pain worse.
YOU BET IT DOES and it also interacts with otc meds with me, too as well as asthma meds....all heightened. My Endo confirmed all of the above that I noted due to synthroid. But, with time it has lessened to me as my body adjusted to the Synthroid dosage BUT BUT BUT I still have trouble spacing out other perscription meds (anti inflammatory) bcz if taken too close I get very dizzy!!!!!

I have the opposite effect. I can drink more now than I did before. I don't know why and have been too embarassed to ask my endo. :(
I drank shortly after my TT- I think before I even started meds., and after two drinks, I was dry heaving (sorry) over the toilet! I felt so sick. I was extremely hypo then- very bad idea. I notice alcohol hits me quicker than before but I haven't gotten sick again. I drank several maragaritas the last week- it did make be forget about the pain. :)
