i do wake in the night but not the same time each night. I thought that you really should be taking the pill at the same time each day or morning etc.
I use one of those pill cases that have seven slots for days of the week. I leave the previous one empty, put the day's dose in the next slot, that way I don't even have to turn on a light. Works great.
Im with deb on that, i have woken and thought ill take the meds but when i wake again i cant even remember if i took it, im best taking them when im up in the morning, i usually wait between half hour to an hour before coffee, but it is consistency as said..
If I wake up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, I am basically still half asleep and would end up taking wrong dose lol....so I dont bother with night thing.
Good idea though if you are fully awake.
Do you get up at night to go to the bathroom? That's when I take mine, that way, I know there will be nothing in my stomach.
that makes sense. thanks for the advice. I'm going to keep doing what i'm doing then....
I totally agree with Laura.
I've taken my thyroxin in the morning followed by a coffee from day one and doing ok.
Consistancy is the key as Laura said.
The best answer to that is consistency.....if you keep the same habits and schedule, then your meds will level out where they need to be. If you drink coffee or milk every morning, then eventually your dosage will be determined with those particulars. Does that make sense? lol
