I was just diagnosed a few days ago by my endocrinologist that I am hypothyroid.
I was prescribed .01mg of levothyroxine and 10mcg of liothyronine to take in the morning. The thing that concerns me is that I have to take these medications on a empty stomach at the same time. Why on an empty stomach? Won't that make a person feel sick?
Is there anybody else on this combination of medications?
Can I drink Squirt soda if it has grapefruit juice in it? Like less than 1% juice.
Are there any really bad side effects that anyone had or that I should be worried about?

I take levo 88mcgs and cynomel.6.25 in the morning. Have to admit that I take mine with coffee without soy cofffee creamer. For 23 years I have been doing it this way. There are studies that say coffee and tea interferes with absorbency. Tirosint brand T4 can be taken with coffee.
I am not saying you should take it with coffee, because it could possible interfere. Its just that I have done it for all those years.
Some people take the T4 medicine right before going to bed. But you cannot take liothyronine this way or it will keep you awake
There shouldn't be any side effects as long as your adrenals are in good shape, B12, iron,and vitamin D are all optimal..
