Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I, too, was starting to feel great and when I started cutting back, I went down hill fast. Naybe I was doing it too fast? WHen you decreased your dose one every couple of weeks, did you have any problems at all? What was the deciding factor for you that you were ready to cut back? Stable temps? Thyroid levels above mid range)? Feeling good for x number of weeks/months? or all of the above? Debbie > > > I have been on Isocort almost 2 years now.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Did you mean to say that your doctor said you were hyper (not hypo) which is why he took you off the armour and then lowered it to 2 grains? What dosage were you taking before? Do you have a thyroid? Debbie > > I have been luring in the background, trying to read the back posts. > Great site with alot of information.
