question re ramping up Armour

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I recently started taking Armour and I'm at 1.5 grains since last

week. Before this I was taking 225mcg daily dose of T4.

My hypo symptoms are getting worse, presumably because I'm taking a

lower overall dose of hormone. In particular, the sleep deprivation

and migraines are making life pretty rough at the moment.

I want to increase to 2 grains to stop myself getting further into

hypo territory, however I've only been on 1.5 grains for a week. It

seems to make sense to me to NOT let myself get more hypo, although I

know that I should ideally wait 2 weeks to increase the dose.

It just seems to me that the side effects of getting more hypo are

worse than anything that might happen from adding an extra 1/2 grain a

week earlier than I should.

Does anyone know of a reason why I shouldnt increase at this stage?

thanks, Marie
