Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Hi , Thanks for your response. I am interested in your experience, and others' too, with synthroid and it various generics. Is synthroid preferable to the genetics or vice-versa? Are their some generics that people like better than others? Has any heard of or noticed differences between Levoxyl and Levothyroid or any of the other generics? Thank you all for your help with this? Best wishes, Zoey Zoey-Armour Hi Zoey- I remember you asking this sometime early in the week but we weren't at home then. You wanted to know why I take Cytomel (all T3) and Synthroid (T4) instead of Armour (T3 and T4 plus others). The reason I switched (I was on Armour for almost 2 1/2 years) is that no matter how I tried, I couldn't get used to taking Armour more than 2x/day (I tried to get used to taking my 4 gr. total more often-1 gr. 4x/day-but I couldn't). That let me in for a lot of daily fluctuations because of the T3 in it. With the Cytomel and Synthroid I can reduce each dose but take it 4x/day instead. This leaves me on a lot more even keel throughout the day. Take care, dx & RAI 1987 (at age 24) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
