Worse in the morning?

[Brucergoldberg]

I have now read in two seperate books (the complete thyroid handbook and Dr. K's new book) that one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism is that you feel worse or get headaches in the morning but feel better as the day goes on.  

I have this problem.  Does anyone else have this?  If the thyroid medication can stay in your system for up to 24 hours, then why would you feel worse in the morning?

Also for those of you with the ear ringing, does it get worse for you as you get tired?

You will not feel better untill you are on a constant dose for at least 2 weeks. Bouncing around is not good. Going up slowly is better than up and down. Think of T4 med dose as the amount you take per week.

You need to ease into and blend the doses. Like maybe take the 50 twice a week with 35 the others, then the week after add one more day of 50.

I am thyroidless and i have alot of energy from the time i get up until early evening and then, the rest is history. My endo says the the Medication is suppose to make you "hyper" and it's best to take it in the morning and not at night.

When i first had the TT, i was very exhausted majority of each day, however, i do notice a difference being 4mos post and on 75mcg in which i am probably due for an increase because i lose my energy before bed time and also have other hypo symtoms as well.

its not.  i have to break one in half.  i feel like im on diet pills today

[annamae26]

remember if you break them that you may get the whole 75 in one half and filler only in the other half   can t be sure  always use the same halfs right after each other- i found that out first hand when i was breaking my t3, one night i got alot more than i thought and had a heart issue- that had never happened as bad before so i know i must have gotten too much

Really?  that little of a difference?
