Levo and synthroid nausea

[Brucergoldberg]

Does anyone else get nauseas and irritable about 3 hours after taking meds?  What have you done to help?  I tried taking myself off the meds for 24 hours and crashed hard.  Started the Meds back up and immediately got nauseas.  It comes on for about 2 hours and then goes away.  Anyone else had this?
My dr. told me to try taking with food.  Asked her about Armour and she told me that this was nto a good idea at the present time.  Anyone else?

Guess what?   Today I had no coffee.  I had no attack.  I feel out of it though.

forgot to mention.....
I have a coffee then T4 med then another coffee lol.
No side effects.
The secret is to be 'consistant' and I have ALWAYS had my coffee in the morning with my T4 med and never had any ill effects and levels good.

As for your Doc suggesting FOOD with your med.
Forget it...the food will absorb the med into the gut and will be excreted via the bowel so you would only be getting a small dose of synthroid.

I would say at a guess that the milk is upsetting you and not the coffee.
Are you drinking full cream milk or light milk?
I changed to light milk as full cream gave me a funny tummy.

It could also be the filler in the synthroid...maybe Levo is an option for you.

IM starting to think this all may be related to caffiene that I drink.  I typically have a large cup of coffee with breakfast about 2 hours after my levo.  Then I do not feel good.  Does anyone know if coffee can do this to people with our problems?  Is it coffee or caffiene?
