Levothyroxin and nausea.....
| Mon, 04-30-2007 - 11:50am |
I am hypo and my doctor put me on 50 mcg of Levothyroxin. I take it early in the morning and wait about an hour to eat breakfast. Around mid-morning, I start getting nauseous. I don't see that it's a side effect, but it might be. Or will my body adjust once everything evens out a bit? Does anyone take it with food? The instructions say to take it without food and in the morning, but I could have sworn that I heard my doctor say that I can take it at any time. I'm just worried because I take my vitamins, BCP, etc. at night. I didn't know how this medication would react with the others that I take.
Any info. is appreciated!

Good luck! Hope you are feeling better soon!
I have been taking levothyroxine for a week now...only taking .05mg to start....I take it first thing in the morning around 6am and by 9am I am nauseous as well...I take a multivitamin around 5pm. I did read that nausea is a side effect of the meds. I find that although I feel the nausea all day when I have lunch it does easy up abit. I was told that you can lose weight on this drug (not that I need to..a bonus side effect) I can see why when I feel nauseous all day. You are not alone...how long have you been on levothyroxin? You have to take it on an empty stomach...both dr. and pharm. told me . Hope this helps!!
The first 10 days I had nausea and felt dizzy and kind of spacy but only the first 1-2 hrs after taking it .. I still get that way as they increase the dosage but it goes away.
