Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 Hi Debbie, Thanks for sharing your information with me. I was just curious...What dose of Levoxil do you take now and do you eat much healthier now compared to ten years ago. The reason I ask the second question is my diet is somewhat poor and I have a huge sweet tooth so I'm having a hard time eating more fruits and vegetables and cutting out sugar which I've read will help with my symptoms. Thanks again. Hugs to you too, --- Peaches14845@... wrote: > Hi There ! > I have to speak up and say I feel good. I have > had only one dosage > change since I have been diagnosed with hypo...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 , Yes. I would prefer to give my body the chance to manufacture its own T3 if it can do so. And there's no way to overdose on tyrosine.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 Celeste, why didn't you like Armour? I think it works great and I am glad for the T3 in it. Gracia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 Gracia, It was over 20 years ago when I was taking Armour. It was not a good medication at that time. The dose varied greatly from pill to pill. I understand the it has since been reformulated, but since I'm doing pretty good on my current medication I don't see any reason to switch.
