I have hypothyroidism and am currently on levothyroxine to increase my tsh. I also suffer from anxiety and wanted to know if it's safe for me to take ashwagandha while levothyroxine is in my system?

Hello, Thanks for the query. Madam in hypothyroidism TSH goes above the normal range. Usually when TSH is > 10 mU/L then treatment is started. With adequate dosage of Levothyroxine TSH level is maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L In uncontrolled hypothyroidism some patients do suffer with anxiety also. Therefore, maintaining TSH as mentioned above is very important. As regards taking Ashwagandha, there is no harm in taking it along with Levothyroxine. Thanks.
