Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I am dosing 10-5-2.5. I was afraid that a night time dose would make me sleep even less because my midnight reading is at the top of the range. My BP is pretty high also. 145/88 up to 165/100.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 But ACTH works much the same as TSH. As soon as oyu add oral HC it lowers ACTH usually more than the dose covers. Thus your 10MG Am dosing is causing oyu to run out at night. You could try a gentler AM dose of 7.5 - 5 - 2.5 and 2.5 at bedtime. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
