Am I doing this right?

[Guest guest]

I was taking 7.5 mg HC first thing in the morning but two days ago

started adding 2.5 in the afternoon since I was still getting a lot of

anxiety upon rising. A suggestion made was to increase to 10. I looked

at the ramp up schedule and the one that seems like it might be closest

is Day 10-12: 5 mg first thing; 2.5 mg in four hours; 2.5 mg in four

hours (10 mg total).

This morning I woke up at 4 AM with anxiety and shaking so I took a 2.5

mg but the shaking did not subside so I took 2 GABA at 6:00 and it

helped. Since I took the 2.5 at 4:00, I took the regular scheduled 5.0

mg at 7:30, another 2.5 at noon and another 2.5 at 4:00 PM. Am I doing

this right? Does the anxiety when I first wake up mean low cortisol?

One thing is that my temperatures seem a little lower since i started

adding the extra 2.5 mg HC a couple of days ago.

Temperatures before I started the add'l 2.5 mg: 98.2, 98.5, 98.2,

98.1, 98.0. Since then, 97.7 and 97.8.

I also take 2 - 0.5 gr of Armour Thyroid with one Iodoral with my

morning dose of HC in the AM. NOt sure if that factors into the

equation.

Thank you!
