Waiting to eat after taking Synthroid

It is so hard to wait an hour every morning after I take my pill to eat!  I'm starving!!

That's why when I wake up at 3am to potty every morning I take my pill then go back to bed. Then when I wake up for good I can eat!

Eh, I can't wait to eat to take it.  I'm starving as soon as my eyes open.

This is a good idea.  Thought about taking it when DH leaves for work, that way when I get up I'm good to go!

I take mine, brush my teeth etc, and then go have breakfast. As long as your breakfast doesn't have milk in it you should be fine :D.

I've been on it for over a year, and had no problems with levels or anything else doing things that way.

I take mine immediately after rolling out of bed. I then use the hour to walk the dog and go for a run....use the time as you built in exercise. I also make sure I have a good snack before bed (I do that regardless of if I'm pregnant or not). Hopefully, this will help you get through that hour.

I've been on synthroid for over 24 years and don't worry too much about the 1 hour limitation.  Sure, don't eat it and then immediately eat, but just give it some time to start to dissolve before you eat.  Maybe get up, take the pill, then have your shower, make lunches, whatever, then eat.

Having said that, I take mine, then make lunches, then eat (about a 20 minute gap) and have never had any issues.

I have been on Synthroid for 9 years now (after two years of doctors saying nothing was "physically" wrong with me, exactly what a teen needs to hear:) Gotta love doctors sometimes) and don't abide by the 30m rule. My pill bottles actually no longer even mention the waiting time. I have never had an issue with eating effecting the medicine.

I always keep a water bottle by the bed. Then when I wake up in the middle of the night to drink I just go ahead and take the pill then remember to put the pill  bottle in another place so I don't take another one when I  wake up.  Before this I would take it before getting out of bed and then take a shower and get ready for the day and by that time it would be ready to eat.
