Guest guest Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 It took me a couple of months at least to work up to the full dose. I felt awful when first starting it, but I think this was due to becoming thyroid toxic & old T4 suddenly converting to T3 - I took 5mg first thing for a while & added in 5mg lunchtime, & then another 5mg first thing before finding out that generally I need 5mg evenings to not feel edgy. Previously I had not been converting properly & could not take enough armour to feel well. Also I then needed to take 25mcg thyroxine as well as my armour (which I still take with 2.25 grains armour) to get things to work properly. My altdoc said that some people need this to balance themselves. Val I know I'm a big baby and I should just take the full dose, but.....I think I'll take the gentle approach and work up slowly.
