Hey Hezzer! I don't think the doc will advise you to take Synthroid with food. If he/she does, I wouldn't recommend it. I also wouldn't recommend taking it with other medications or vitamins. Every specialist I've ever spoken to says that there are some vitamins, like iron or calcium that, when taken with synthroid, basically cancel out your dosage… So taking it with food would be like not taking it at all. Most people taking thyroid medication, including me, usually take it in the morning right when they get up. By the time you get ready (about 30-45 mins.) it should be okay to eat breakfast. I hope this info helps in some way, but you should still ask the doc to explain the medical perspective a little better.  By the way, I'm sorry you're feeling tired all the time! I know the feeling! My ex-regular doc tried to convince me that I was suffering from depression. I knew I had a family history of thyroid problems, and I had never had these issues in the past. Before I let him put me on Zoloft, I made him test my TSH... which was WAY out of wack!!!! I was sent to a specialist and then put on synthroid. It will take a couple months to get the right dosage, but I guarantee you'll be feeling MUCH better soon!! Good luck!
