I have had a thyroid problem for30 years and I cannot take Synthroid, with me it effects the heart, racing and I retain lbs of fluid, cannot urinate as I need to and am hungry all the time, but nothing tastes good. I am on Levothyroxin now and not having any of those problems, insis t they change the brand, One specialist swears by levoxyl, the next one swears by synthroid, I've been on several, didn't know there were that many thyroid medications. Just insist they give you a chance the dosage should remain the same but you don't need to go thru all of that. Insist. They have to respect your wishes if your reacting to a particular medication
I've been on Synthroid for about 10 years now and have always taken it before bed. This began because it also made me sick to my stomach. I'm doing fine taking it at bedtime. My numbers are in the normal range now and I don't feel sick. I believe they want you to take it either an hour before eating or at least an hour after so bedtime works. Just thought I'd let you know. Good luck.
