Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 HI Carol We recommend you start taking Armour slowly and start with just half a grain. This means you must cut your 2 grain tablet into four. You will only need to cut up two tablets because you only stay on half a grain for 7 days. Take half a grain before your breakfast tomorrow and take it each day in the same way for 7 days. If no adverse reactions (like palpitaitons, feeling spaced-out, dizzy or sweating) then you add another half grain which you take about 2.00p.m. This is because Armour contains both T4 and T3 and the T3 has only a short half-life and leaves the body after say, 6 to 8 hours. Taking it about 2.00p.m. stops that afternoon "slump". Go to our FILES and look at "How to Treat using Armour Thyroid" read the document fully and see the recommended treatment from DAY 1. It gives all our recommendations as to how you continue to increase your dose of Armour until you find your "sweet spot". Luv - Sheila Amour and amount to take please Sheila Hi there Sheila they arrived this morning the 2 grain sized pills, Iwas on 100mcgs thyroxine, stopped about a week ago.
