I have had normal results on TSH for 5 years until the last 6 months now they are running high I have always taken it at night. Could that be the issue? Should I switch to morning? My doctor is increasing me to 88mcg.

Hello,
Levothyroxine taken at bedtime significantly improved thyroid hormone levels. Quality-of-life variables and plasma lipid levels showed no significant changes with bedtime vs morning intake. Clinicians should consider prescribing levothyroxine intake at bedtime.
