Re: Thyroid - s dose question

[Guest guest]

if it were me, I'd take 1 full pill in the a/m if 1/2 didn't work.

You'll know pretty quick if the full pill is too much. I then base

taking an afternoon pill if i feel like I just have to have a nap. I

did this with Armour and now naturethroid and it's worked well for me.

I'm also self medicating.

I've taken too much Armour one time and just backed down to my last

dosage that kept the symptoms at bay. A lady that I met who I

introduced to armour did this same thing. She was at 3 grains due to

the high amt of $inthroid she was on previously, even though I told

her to go slow. The 3 grains was closest to what she'd been on and

worked well for her. I was quite shocked that she went up as quickly

as she did, but didn't have any ill effects from it either. Some of

us just need that extra in the a/m, and don't have to take more in the

evening. I think once you find what works for you, it'll make this

much easier.
