I never had a period of feeling worse after adding the Armour. I actually started feeling slightly better 30 minutes after adding that first 30 mg of Armour to a reduced dose of $ynthroid.rgrprop wrote: Thanks, Cathryn. It was great meeting you and I certainly appreciateyour support.I'm still feeling very slowed down, am laying on the floor a lot,sort of watching TV, just very tired and pretty down emotionally. I called my doc'soffice to get an opinion about my symptoms, and the RN called me right back with my doc's response. He said it would take a week or so to feel theeffects of the swtichover. I sort of feel like the chair has been pulled out fromunder me. I'm reading the posts by Tish (are you a researcher or physician? Suchamazing information!) and thinking I really fit the adrenal exhaustioncategory, since now I'm really feeling bad in the morning and have generally feltbetter in the evening all my life. All the years of not being diagnosed, havinganxiety disorder and panic

attacks, generally being stressed out from tryingto build a business, then not being medicated properly, must have just beatenthose puppies to death. Should I consider calling the doc back and askingfor adrenal help while I'm going through this tranisition to thesynthetic T3/T4, or just take it really easy and wait for the thyroid meds to optimizeand get me feeling better? A question to any of you who switched from a T4 med to a T3/T4 combo- did you feel worse for awhile, like weeks? or months?, and then getbetter, or did you just transition over to feeling better in a prettystraightforward manner? If I feel much worse than this, I'm going to be in bed all the time. Thisis not fun!Sara__________________________________________________
