My opinion...for what it's worth You're only taking 1 grain in the

morning now, right? Why not add 1/2 grain on that end? And then keep taking

the

3/4 in the PM...or even drop it (the PM) back to 1/2...and see how it works for

you taking more in the morning.

For some reason, it seems wiser to get your AM dose up to snuff since that's

when the body normally releases thyroid hormone (so I've heard)....and the PM

dosing is usually to help that afternoon crashing that can occur.

I also think you might want to push back the time on your PM dose...the doc

told me to take it by 2:00...and I take it about 1:00...depending upon when

I've eaten lunch. i try to keep an hour between it and lunch.

I take my AM dose at 7:00.

Y'all have me wondering now if I should just go ahead and up my

dosage too. I was on one gr. since November and upped it to 1 1/2

gr. a week and a half ago but haven't noticed any difference...well

maybe a little bit of the moodiness has improved but that's about

it. I'm not having any hyper symptoms at all...no heart palps, no

heebie jeebies, nothing, zip, zero, zilch. I'm still just really

tired but have also been under alot of stress the last few months at

work which doesn't look like it's gonna get any better.

I take 1 gr. sublingually in the a.m. then the other 1/2 gr. same

way around noon. Am wondering if I should just go ahead and add

another 1/2 gr. at noon?

Just IMHO Debbie, but go for it lady!

Just keep an eye on your temps & your pulse - from all the recent

posts about this - somewhere in the 70s for your resting pulse is

about right.

My doc kept increasing my dose by 1/2 grain every 3 weeks, I feel

loads better, am now on 4 1/4 & hoping to increase again in a couple

of weeks.

Good luck, & remember, if it's too much you can always decrease or

try increasing 1/4 grain at a time.

I think you've been more than patient waiting this long!!
