Gracia

Hi all,

Just came from endo. She wants me to think about switching from the

armour to levothyroxine and cytomel.. I have a converting promblem and

need some T3..

I there anybody here that has made this switch or switched from the

levothryroxine & cytomel to the armour? I need to know what kind of

reactions you had going to or from?

The price diffence would be about or so $ 5.00 per month more to change

to the cytomel ect.

thanks

Bev how long have you been on the armour and at what dose?

If your doc thinks you need more T3 explain to her that it would be less

stressful on your body if you simply added the T3 TO the armour instead

of introducing 2 new meds into your body.

Bev , I never used Armour - but was on Synthroid only for 3 yrs. Free T3 and

T3 uptake recently revealed (in Feb.) that I, too, wasn't getting enough T3

converted. ... so doc started me on 25 mcg Cytomel. I began 2nd week in April,

but I quartered the tab so as to work up slowly. The first quarter, aside from

slight headache first day - gave me no symptoms or improvement at all. Waited

about 4 weeks and started 2nd quarter and this time not even a headache. I'm

still on the 12 l/2 mcgs now as I wanted to get my blood draw on that amount to

see where I am . Am now awaiting blood work results. ly, I have noticed

no difference at all except an inclination not to sleep so well - but this is

not a new problem for me....have had it before. A WONDERFUL benefit that I

just recently became aware of is the fact that I'm not getting that terrible

chest thundering evening palpitation now. I didn't even notice - because it

went away gradually, but I'm

happy its gone! Anyway, you probably can't rely on how any of these

things affect me or others who may respond as each of us has a different

reaction to meds based on our own body's needs.

Good luck with the switch

Hi Kerry,

I was on 210 mgs. of armour then one doc. said he thought I needed

to go down because my pulse was too high (from about 88 to 103) so I

decreased to 180mgs. Now the new endo thinks I need to go off the

armour because she armour is not stable,(bla,bla)she wants me on

synthec T4 and she said if I will go on that then she would give me

a little cytomel (T3).

thanks
