Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I am on 60 mg of Armour first thing in the morning. About 1/2 hour later, I take some other meds including Prozac (for anxiety) and Adreset (for adrenal support). I also drink some coffee, but it is only half caffeinated. About 1 to 3 hours after taking the Armour, I sometimes feel hyper and agitated and become impatient and irritable quickly. I also feel like my pulse is more rapid and I get out of breath more easily. The feelings then come and go throughout the day. I was like this before I ever took SSRI's, so I'm not sure why it's resurfacing. I know Prozac is bad, but I have been on SSRI's for the past 12 years for anxiety disorder (I have tried many of them, unfortunately). I'm wondering if I'm taking something I shouldn't, if I'm on too high a dose of Armour, or if I need to add something to feel calm and normal. Any thoughts? In case it helps, here are my most recent labs: TSH 0.16 (0.30 - 5.00 uIU/mL) FT4 0.6 (0.6 - 1.6 ng/dL) FT3 3.33 (2.30 - 4.20 pg/mL) Reverse T3 251 (90 - 350 pg/mL) I have normal serum DHEA, but low saliva DHEA. My saliva cortisol tests were all in the low end of normal, but the late night number was very low. My DHEA/Cortisol ratio was low, too. Thanks so much in advance!
