I would take the whole thing in the morning to begin with. Later...you might

need to up that and/or take some in the afternoon.

You're just going to have to see how you do on the one grain for now..but i

would think you would want to return in four weeks for bloodwork to see if your

hormone levels need to be higher.

As you were on a lower dosage of Synthroid, you may not feel worse at all. I

would think it would be better for you to take the Armour 2 times a day, just

either break the pills in half or get a pill splitter at your pharmacy. See how

you feel in a couple weeks on this dosage.

Wow, very cooperative doctor. My doctor switched me from 125mcg Synthroid to 30

mg generic Armour & I felt worse taking that low dose for a week. Now I'm taking

l l/4 grains generic Armour & feeling better sometimes, not so good other times.

But overall feel like I'm getting better except for the rash on my crotch. I'm

currently taking 15 mg in the morning & 1 grain after my afternoon nap which

seems to be best for me right now as I generally have more energy in the morning

after taking other pills & less in the afternoon.
