Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Has anyone added Armour to their levothyroxine? I noticed that a few months back my t4 was pretty high. Now, 4 months later, after seeing this doctor, he wants to me start adding armour to my levothyroxine dose (which is only 75mcg), and then slowly try and ramp up, eventually taking out the levothyroxine, maybe someday adding just t3. I think I'm going to try it. I just don't know how to, the doctor said it all so fast. He wanted me to start this before seeing the blood test results, and then get them drawn again. Should I start with 60mg twice a day? I think thats what he said. Take my DHEA with the thyroid meds in the morning, take the Armour at 7am and 1pm. Take the 75mcg levothyroxine with the first dose of Armour in the morning too. Is this too much to introduce too fast? Should I just take 60mcg Armour once a day? Then, two weeks, take it twice a day, or will I be ok taking it twice a day at first with the levothyroxine? I don't know anything about having too much t4, or if you get too much t4? Thanks, Any advice, opinions, past experiences are appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
