MDJunction to me

cinderella"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction

So, is it okay to take them at the same time? I take Priolosec, Prozac, and a multivitimin in the morning and then take the synthroid in the afternoon about an hour to two after I've eaten lunch and an hour or two before I eat dinner. I can take the multivitimin in the evening, but I wasn't sure if I could take the synthroid and priolosec at the same time?

Any medication that, like Prilosec or antacids, lowers the amount of acid in your stomach will effect how your body processes and absorbs your thyroid medication.

I used to have to take Prilosec, and while on it had to have a higher dose of Synthroid. Once I stopped taking it, my dose had to lowered. And, per my endo, I took them at different times of the day to lessen the effect.

I am NOT a doctor or a medical professional. Everything I contribute is based on my experience and research, not medical training. My advise is not a substitute for qualified medical care.
