Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 hi- I said yesterday a woman I met could get me Armour from her pharmacist and that we were going today to get it. I couldn't sleep ( per usual) and had nightmares when I did about making obscure drug runs into the backwoods and wether I would make it home alive.............well, here I am and I took the last advise I got and asked for more than the equation chart shows (I should have asked for 1 1/2 grains for 1.37 synthroid but asked for 2 1/2 grains instead for 2 mo.) So I have a large bottle with A stamped on it and then small bottle with A stamped on it. PHEW! they stink! Smells like the pig ears my dog chews on. I will go to the files and see if there is advise on how to stop the synthroid and how to start on the Armour but since my mind races and I have a really hard time concentrating lately for more than a few moments, any feedback would be welcomed on what to start with and if I just switch one for the other tomorrow. What is all this swallow or under tongue stuff I am reading lately? thanks, clis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Yup, smell sounds like Armour! Most the recommendations I have seen would be to start with 1 grain a day, 1/2 Am and 1/2 PM but raise that dosage after a couple weeks if you are having no hyper symptoms. I would raise it 1.2 grain every 2-3 weeks until you get to three grains then slow it to about 1/4 grain every 5-6 weeks when you feel good stay at that dosage. You can stop Synthroid and Start Armour the next day. There is T4 in Armour as well as T4 to replace the T4 you have been taking. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?
