Can The Medicines, Adderall And Levothyroxine, Be Taken Together For Hypothyroidism?

yes, i have hypothyroidism, and a very low energy level, my last doctor had me on levothyroxine, 25 mg. which in my opinion was too low, but i now have a new doctor., but my question, along with the thyroid medication, my doctor prescribed to me adderall xr., do you agree with this, because i no longer take the adderall and i am going to a new dr. who is starting me out on the levothyroxine, 25 mg. but i really miss my adderall i am very tired and depressed still, and would like to know the opinion of someone else professional?

Hello there,
For your hypothyroidism the correct dose of levothyroxine will depend on your TSH value and your weight. So as long as your TSH is Normal even 25 mcg maybe the right dose.
I do not know why you take adderall as its not indicated for hypothyroidism. Did you have ADHD or any other psychiatric problem ever? In my opinion levothyroxine and adderall have no role together. Do visit a psychiatrist who can decide whether you need to continue on adderall or not.
hope this helps.
Take care.
