upping HC with Armour

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

For about 4 months I was on 1 1/2 grain armour with 20mg HC.

Armour: HC:

1/2 - 6AM 10mg -6AM

1/2 - 10Am 5mg-10AM

1/2 - 2 PM 5mg-2PM

I felt GREAT for 4 months, even lost 10 pounds. Slept good...

well I started feeling hypo so I uppped my morning armour by 1/4 g.

for a week and now doing 1 grain in the moring with 12.5 mg HC. The

rest of the day is the same dosage. My problem is, I feel good for

about an hour and half then start feeling kinda shakey and extremely

tired and lethargic. I tried taking an extra 2.5 mg about then and it

doesn't help at all. Should I increase HC ? I need to be alert at

my job. I wish I felt as good as a month ago! Lilly

I would have increased the SECOND dose to 7.5mg rather than add more to

the first dose which then lowers your ACTH too much and ths lowers your

cortiosl later in the day.

I'll try that tomorrow Val. I was afraid 1 grain would be too much

for me at once. Lilly
