Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 >>I had been at 45mg. I was ready to increase just no resources. I got 60mg now and started that yesterday. I'm really tired. The earlier doses of less gave me little lifts. Any idea what's going on?<< Yes, you have really thrown your body into shock. Ups and downs and ups on thyroid are huge NO NO'S! If you can;t have a steady supply and know you will run out it is better to taper down then slowly adjust back up than to just stop then start in at a higher dosage trying to make up. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, " You're next.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 So should I cut back to 30mg for a couple weeks? I really thought it would get here in time. But I emailed to see why it wasn't and was told it was on back order... Kate Re: Got mine >>I had been at 45mg. I was ready to increase just no resources. I got 60mg now and started that yesterday.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 That's a tough call. I think I would cut back a little if you have no date when you can expect more. This is why we always tell folks to stock up. Supplies are not always easy to come by and some times take longer than planned. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, " You're next.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I have my order now. But was on none for 2-3 days before it got here. I had tapered back from 45mg as the back order continued, hoping that would be better than a quick stop. Should I cut back to 30mg and build up to 1 grain? Kate Re: Got mine That's a tough call.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I think you can safely start at the 1 grain, and go up in a couple weeks if you have no problems increasing. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, " You're next.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 How long do you think this sleepy even more tired than usual will last? I do sleep better with thyroid, dream lots and I'm very glad of that, but don't want to sleep all the time! BTW, not a single migraine since I started Armour. I was nervous when I was running out.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 The tired sleepies will last till you are close to your optimal dose. That is unpredictable and depends on your system and how well it adjusts to having thyroid again. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, " You're next.

But rise from the one grain within 2-3 weeks. Janie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just posted a more cautious start---LOL--but I did think the same as before I posted what I did. LOL. I think 's idea is OK, too.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Thanks. I had already taken my 1gr this am by the time I read this. So since I've been doing that for several days, I'm going to hope it will level out soon and I can get on with the increasing. Unless, of course, 1gr is my optimum...BTW, my temp was 96 the morning I got my 1gr tabs. This am it was 97.1. Wow. It was inching up above that before I had to start tapering off. I'm so hopeful.
