Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Need some urgent advice please I am switching from Levoxyl to Armour. From Seeing doctor lin my original conversion chart was to increase my Armour every 7 to 10 days ½ a grain but Dr lin said 5 day is ok. From the conversion chart beow I am now taking for the second day 2.5 grains of Armour. I feel like crying and feel very down. I also feel in outer space or not in tune with my wife. I get shakiness/Anxiety that goes and comes and don't know if its because I am hypo or is it because I am converting too fast. I took an adrenals test but the results wont come out until March 9th. I did feel good the first five days of taking Armour. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions/Advice? Days Levoxyl Armour Low High 5 days 125 1 199 226 5 days 100 1.5 211 251.5 5 days 25 2 173 227 5 days 0 2.5 185 252.5 (CURRENTLY HERE) 5 days 0 3 222 303 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 So in fifteen days or two weeks you have added in 22.5 MCG of T3? THAT is enough to make anyone shaky feeling. Anxiety yes! I would say you are adding in the Armour too fast. Most people do best with 2-3 week increases as the T3 is the big factor you are changing and it takes your body at least a week or two to adjust to new amounts of it. I would back up to your last dose that felt OK and hold at that dose for a couple more weeks then increase by 1/2 grain. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?
