Hi, I wonder if anyone can give me any advice please. I usually take my 100mg levothyroxine tablet at 7am. I'm due a blood test and usually this is taken in the morning. Does when I take my tablet effect the test? If I have a blood test at 8am will I be full of the levothyroxine and so creat a false reading? Should I take the tablet or delay it until after the test?

I feel OK. I started on 25mg for two weeks, then moved onto 50mg, 6 months later to 75mg and I've been on 100mg for 12 weeks - this will be my first blood test since being on the higher dose. I FEEL fine.. but the weight I have put on is unbelievable. I think I am one of those people that put weight ON with Levothyroxine so I'm going to see if I can lower my dose if my blood results allows for it.

No.. I don't think it matters.. only because it takes so long to even buil the levo up in our systems.
