Re: Thyroid Rage question- dosing

[Guest guest]

I'm having rage at times, too - not as bad as with the Graves,

though. I just switched from .125mg $ynthroid to a starting dose of

1 grain of Armour, just upped to 1-1/2 grains yesterday. Could it be

because the increased T3 is a shock to the system initially?

What would be better than just stating that you feel crappy is to

describe specific symptoms. How much armour are you on. How much T4

were you on? When I have lots of sypmtoms of hypo, I normally up my

dosage by 1/2 pill and see how I feel. If you are undermedicated, you

will feel as bad as if you are taking nothing, or at least that's how

it was for me.

How much Armour are you on and how did you increase it, & how long on this

dosage? I have had hypo temper tantrums, just plain cause I hurt all over and my

ability to cope with crap just wasn;t there, so I BLEW up... Not as bad as when

I was hyper though, too tired for that much effort when you're hypo.
