Starting Cytomel tomorrow and have questions?

[Rasta15]

I am starting Cytomel and I just want to be clear on how to take it.  I am on 100 of levoxyl and was prescribed cytomel twice a day at 5 mcg.  I take my levoxyl at 5:30 and eat breakfast at 7:00.  I talked to the pharmacist and she said I can take the cytomel whenever.  With breakfast I take all my vitamins Multi, calicum, mag,. probiotic, vit. d, and cranberry.  Can I take both at 5:30 in the morning?  Or should I wait until after breakfast.  I decided to only start with one a day and see how I do.  I am afraid of getting to much.  Thanks.

When I said both together, I meant your Levo with your cytomel.
PS- You should be taking your Calcium and any Iron in the evenings....hours away from your synthroid or it will interfere with your Levoxyl absorption.

Yes you can take both together, but keep in mind that Cytomel is fast acting and will only be in your system for about 6 hrs or so......I take my first dosage in the am with my sythroid, and my second dosage in the afternoon.
I am on 100mcg synthroid and 20mcg cytomel.  :)
