Does First Dose Have to be First Thing?

[Guest guest]

Do I *have* to take my first dose of HC first thing in the morning? What would

happen if I

took it a couple of hours after being awake? That is what I have been doing

since I started

taking it 6 months ago.

I always take my thyroid meds first thing, so then I'm supposed to wait for an

hour before

eating, so how do I take the HC first thing, which is supposed to be eaten with

food?

Then, I generally exercise for 1 1/2-2 hours, eat breakfast and take the HC with

breakfast.

What would you recommend for a good dosing schedule for me, as far as times?

(I'm on

25mg HC right now, I split it 10-10-2.5-2.5. I was on 20 but my doctor raised it

to 25 when

I told him that I always get really tired by the evening.
