Re: dosing question

[Guest guest]

,

I am up to 6 grains now and I dose sublingually 3 times daily. I split my dose

and take a 120mg Armour first thing when I get up, a 120mg Armour at before

dinner at work (I work 2nd shift, so dinner is about 8 hours after I get up, and

a 120mg Armour before bed or when I go to bed. I'm learning I must be fairly

resistant since I know this is considered a high dose and I have no signs of

hyper and I have been at this dose now for about 5 weeks. When I upped my

dosage, I went up a half grain at each dose. That is also what makes me think I

must be fairly resistant since that is upping my dose by one and one half grain

at a time. I don't plan to up it again unless my symptoms return. I visit my

endo in June...should be interesting to see what she thinks about my 6 grains.

I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better with Armour. I recall when you joined

the list how poorly you were feeling.

dosing question

Okay guys I'm up to 3 grains of Armour a day and feeling better and better

(except I caught some kind of chest cough/cold thing last week), but I still

don't think I'm at my optimum level. My question is, those of you who are

on more than 3 grains a day, how do you dose? Do you take one grain every

three hours over a 12 hour period, do you take more than one grain at a dose

time - like 1.5 grain in AM then 1 grain at each dosing period throughout

the day, etc. When I'm ready to bump up again, I'm not sure how much to

bump (I was thinking a half a grain) or when to place my bump in my day.

Thanks guys

Hi ,

I'm up to 3 1/4 grains per day now. I'm waiting to see my lab work,

and then depending on what the numbers look like, I may keep

increasing. I too am seeing some wonderful improvements overall. I

dose three times per day. I take 1 1/4 grains in the morning around

8 a.m. and then I take 1 grain around 2 p.m. and another grain

around 7 p.m. (I take all my doses sublingually) This isn't

exactly every 4 hours, but rather what works for me schedule-wise.

You know, trying to fit it all in around my calcium and other

vitamins! Its a challenge sometimes!! Anyway, this seems to work

for me. I increase by a 1/4 of a grain now, rather than a half,

just because I think I'm getting pretty close to my optimal dose and

I don't want to go hyper. I've heard that is not a pleasant

experience! Anyway, that is what I'm doing. I'm happy to hear that

you are doing well. Keep up the good work!

I take a 1 gr tabletwhen I get up in the morning,another one about noon, next

one about 4pm and the last one at 9pm for a total of 4 gr and I do it between

cheek and gum. I increased 1/2 gr about every 6-8 weeks,but I have some heart

issues also,so slow and easy does it for me. I think I have posted more tonight

than I ever have!! Hooray for me!!
