I take prescription Potassium Chloride and Synthroid.  Can I take them together?  I know Synthroid is fussy so I avoid taking it with my other vitamins.  Any thoughts?

Tonya, ask your pharmacist!

I was told the Snythroid had to be taken alone...so I take mine as part of a midnight potty trip when I know it will not interfere with anything else.

I am doing okay.  I am on a medical leave from work.  My mystery neurological disease is acting up again.  I am only weak legged not paralyzed this time.  Thank God!!  I have decided to take my potassium with my vitamins instead of with my prescription meds.  It should work out okay that way.  I will get my thyroid levels and potassium checked in a month to be sure.

Ugh - I'm glad you're seeing your cup as half full... keep being positive, like you already are. :-)

I have chronically low potassium that we can't figure out.  I was taking my Synthroid with my protein coffee but it wasn't being absorbed well so I had to change my routine a little.  Now I take my vitamins with my protein coffee.  Wait two hours and take my other meds.  It's working out better.  I will have my potassium drawn again next month to see if this change helps
