As to how long it takes to feel the effects,

A week to a month- up to a full 6-12 weeks. Its important to take another blood test in 3 months! Many factors. Your age, activity levels, weight!, etc.

Even a brief brisk walk of 5 minutes daily will get the synthroid working faster, feeling the effects on an increased metabolism in just a week to ten days.

VERY important to take on empty stomach and wait for half an hour before eating or drinking. VERY recent studies (2008) show caffeine reduces the effect by 60% (i.e. when coffee was used to wash down the pill, diluting the stomach acid) Use only enough water to take the pill, preferably in the morning. Wait half an hour then have the coffee. This is crucial.

Can you take hydrocodone-homatropine syrmor with synthroid?

I have been prescribed and have taken hydrocodone-homatropine syrmor with synthroid. My Dr. prescribed this for me when I had bronchitis and he was fully aware that I take synthroid. I have had no problems at all from taking it. In fact, it is the only thing that worked to stop my night time coughing fits and allowed me to get the rest I needed.
