Thyroid: Take the medicine first thing in the morning on empty stomach to make sure you don't have any interaction with other medicine or food. If you have problems regulating the level , perhaps you should ask your doctor if you need to be seen by an endocrinologist to help you.

Check T3 (liothyronine): Sometimes your body doesn't convert T4 (levothyroxine) into active t3. You may do better with a mixture is t4/t3 like wes-throid or Nature-Throid or just adding some Cytomel (liothyronine) to your regimen.
