If you want it: take it , Co-Enyme Q10 supposed to be an energy booster , no scientific proof of its deficiency ,you may get its benefits but more than you the one who promotes and sells get more than you, you have serious metabolic problems , hypothyroidism , elevated lipids , and diabetes you must take care of these problems follow your doctor's advise , more important for you than Co- Q10 Good Luck

Yes: Great ?!! coQ10 @ 200mg/day may increase your chances of being able to tolerate Lipitor (atorvastatin) over the long run without muscle pain. It's safe to take with thyroid replacement tx. Keep an eye on your thyroid tests since either too much or too little May have an adverse effect on your cholesterol results and overall heart function

You should be ok: Coenzyme Q10 has no interactions with the above medicines to the best of my knowledge. It may be a good idea to take the CoQ10 at a different time than your other meds.
