What time of day is the best to take my T4?
Should I take it in the morning or before bed. Will it affect my sleep??? How important is it to take it on an empty stomach either 1 hour before or after eating? What happens if I stop taking my T3. Just more tired or will I put on more weight? Also I drink alot of diet pop will that affect my thyroid or ability to lose this weight.
You can take it at whatever time works best for you, but, yes, it is important to take it on an empty stomach...no food or drink for 3-4 hours prior to meds and none after for 0.5-1.0 hours. I responded on another of your threads...we'd have to see your labs before responding on your T3 question. Diet pop isn't great for you, whether it affects your meds or not. Have you considered to switching to a non-sweetened, flavored sparkling water?
