From: Elizabeth on 2 Sep 2008 11:22 Hi all, For the past few weekends, I've felt worse than during the week. I just realized that it might be because I tend to stay up later and then rise later in the mornings. So, I take my Synthroid later on those days. Could this cause me to feel extra sluggish and foggy? I tend to get more sleep then but I feel worse. Just wondering how time-sensitive my dosing should be. I've decided to try to stay on the button for the next couple weeks and see if it helps. To recap, I was diagnosed in January, been on Synthroid since early February. Still not totally well. Still waiting to see a new doctor. Elizabeth

I sometimes have slept later on weekends also and take it later but I tend to get up early on weekends for quiet time before the kids so I take mine about the same time every day. I have been on meds for 1 year. Best of luck Debbie

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed. <www.thyromind.info> <www.thyroiduk.org> <www.altsupportthyroid.org>

I am not sure how exact you have to be. I was told to take mine at the same time every day and wait 1 hour to eat after taking the medicine. I sometimes have slept later on weekends also and take it later but I tend to get up early on weekends for quiet time before the kids so I take mine about the same time every day. I have been on meds for 1 year. ================================= I have never noticed a difference re: thyroid meds timing over the 10+ years with a thyroid & 8 more without. I don't even take the same dose every day. I don't notice a problem on my "skip" day. bj

On weekdays, I get up at 7 am, take the pill, then eat a bowl of medium-fiber cereal with skim milk about an hour later. On the weekend, I might eat something less healthy and heavier, sometimes pancakes and bacon. All right then, I'll start eating the same thing every morning too. Thanks for pointing that out.
