Over the last 3 days I have read three different people on 3

different thyroid groups say that their doctor lowered their dose of

Armour and subbed in either synthetic T4 or synthetic T3..I haven't

heard this before...is there a new double talk being suggested to

these doctors by the pharma reps in order to " deal with " people on

Armour? One said that " Many people have problems with their T3

getting too high on Armour while their T4 stays low, because Armour

contains much more T3 than a normal thyroid makes in a

day " ,.......this is what her doctor told her before he decreased her

Armour and put her on synthroid with it...another one had her Armour

decreased and was put on additional synthetic was it levoxyl - I

think she said - she feels like heck!! And now there's , whose

doctor said her 4 grains Armour seemeed too high how about decreasing

it and getting on time-released synthetic T3 " ...I haen't heard this

kind of thing before, but now it seems to be happening all over the

palce...what gives? Is this the latest in an effort to show patients

who use Armour that it is not as effective as they may think?? what

do you guys think? does it seem strange to you??

, your theory is interesting, and plausible. There has been

much scandal done by the makes of Synthroid and other T4-only meds

in an attempt to get folks to their product. In fact, the entire

introduction of Synthroid into the market in the late 60's was done

with huge lies.

So many lies that I just received my Class Action suit settlement right

before Christmas and I got a pretty good settlement for a Class Action suit.

Yipppeeee!

Our check was nice also. But not considering the hell I have been through with

this thyroid dosing.

Nine darn years of Synthroid and then a big battle to finally get the Armour.

Maybe I can hold out to see what the next move is???

Ha!!!

The way I understand it, the makers of Synthroid touted it as being better

than other drugs, more stable and consist, better potency. The FDA kept

having to recall batches of it due to lack of consistency. Finally a Class

Action suit was filed, I believe in the early 90's. I remember getting the

paperwork and thinking, Class Action suit, okay I could use another $5.00,

so I filled out the paperwork, and then low and behold I received a check

for about $106.00 right before Christmas. That is a pretty substantial

settlement for one person in a class action suit. I don't know if the

settlement was large, or not many people filed the paperwork. I was placed

on Synthroid the summer of 1990, so I wasn't on the drug very long before

the suit was filed, and you had to have taken it during a specific time

period.

It is my understanding that the class action was about the false inf. about no

generic equivalent could be made or something to that effect. That is not right?

That is ringing a bell.... way back then my doc tried to put me on

generic and I got even sicker on that... so we went back to $ynthroid...

I still got sick, but not as bad... then we found that it was the level

of med at a dose that was doing it and it went to 3 doses a day instead

of 1....

*whew* so I did hear about it... just made an incorrect choice, based on

incorrect info... that doc also kept telling me the synthetic was more

consistent than natural and so we never tried it... I betcha I wouldn't

have gotten as sick on Armour!
