how long did you try the Armour? I had some strange mental things going on

the first few months. i think this is just some of what goes on with the brain

having to heal from being hypothyroid.

well...my guess it would be the reaction to the brain trying to normalize.

there's nothing in armour to cause that kind of reaction...but the brain would

react to getting T3 again...and all sorts of things are dependent on T3 being

in the brain.

like i said...i had some weird mental stuff going on too...but it all evened

out after about 3 months. i mean i was up and down and back and forth on the

emotions those first three months. i'd say i kept having improvement in

mental status for a full year. prior to starting armour, i had severe anxiety

and

social withdrawal. after armour, i think i was aware of depression and

suicial thoughts. then it just all disappeared.

I did up my dosage fairly quickly...and i don't know if that's part of the

reason i had such ups and downs in mood or not. maybe i didn't let my brain

gradually get reintroduced to T3.

About a month I guess. The psychological reaction was so severe I

just had to stop. Improvement mentally was immediate after stopping

the armour. But like I said, now I look so terrible... I've never

seen it this bad except in old pictures from sufferers in the early

20th century when they first started finding out about it all.
