Armour and T4??

My doc had me on Armour 30 mg (1/2 grain) for the last month. Some improvement but she thought it could be better. So bumped me to 60 mg (1 grain) starting tomorrow. She mentioned that in about 6 weeks we would check my numbers and see what we would do next. So has anyone been on both Armour and T4? Help at all? Just curious. Thanks.

Yep I am on both I take 60mg (1grain) of armour in the morning with 25mcg of T4 and then I take 60mg (1grain) of armour at 5 p.m. everyday, before i was on the armour and T4 I felt like a walking zombie now I feel as well as anyone else. I did tons of research on taking armour and T4 my NP thinks its a good Idea.

Wow. Thank you for your insight. My doc is suggesting possibly both for me, should I still not feel like myself on the 60mg Armour. I guess time will tell.

your welcome I didn't mention that my 6 yr old DD is also Hypo and she was taking Armour 30 mg in the morning with a .12.5mcg of levothyroid and then a 15mg armour in the evening, however she has gone off the T4 because her levels were getting too high. I hope the armour does for you what it has done for me basically gave me my life back.
