Have been taking levothyroxin (levothyroxineLevothyroxine Levothyroxine sodium) for 27 years. Since then I have struggle with my weight,However I did work out about 6 days a week and was waitress, so I was always running on my feet. I use to weigh no more then 135 now I am up too 165, I heard you are not suppose to drink coffee within 1 hr of taking. Is this true? It says take on empty stomach. A friend told me it dilutes the the medication. I take it about 15 minutesbefore drinking coffee. I started working back out and I am started to feel great.
