When I picked up my new thyroid prescription (hashimotos), the pharmacist said that I should be feeling less tired in about a week and much better in about a month. I've been taking it for a couple weeks now. It's just a tiny dose, but I have been feeling more drowsy ever since i started taking it, no more energy at all... I have so many other things wrong with me, I can't tell if its related or not. I have a history of fatigue that is better or worse at various times. I was wondering if anyone else has gotten drowsiness...it doesn't seem like it's possible. Maybe the timing is just coincidence.

how much are you taking????

do you feel okay and then "have dips" of drowsiness or is the drowsiness non stop?

i didnt feel much for a couple/few weeks of taking armour. currently on 60 mgs.

also it might not be enough for you.... xo jenn

Let's see. Since I started taking it, I feel drowsy all the time and REALLY drowsy, can't stay awake sometimes. This morning I slept in till 10:40....I usually get up at 7:30. And I'm still sleepy. I'm taking 50 mcgs - just a little for the hashimotos. My tsh was 3.9 last time they tested when they found the hashimotos from the antibody test a couple weeks ago.
I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't doing anything, but feeling more tired seems kinda odd. I wonder if its not related at all. Thanks for your note, prunepie.
