I was on this medication for 1 1/2 years but chnaged Dr's; she then put me on Compounded Thyroid Meds (preferable to her tx plan)

Armour is somewhat helpful, but not doing the trick in full. Still have symptoms of hypothyroidism. I'm taking 180 mg day.
Somewhat Helpful
I was on it for 2 years. Not stable enough for my body.
Somewhat Helpful
Not sure yet, but helps my thinking and anger and irritability.
Somewhat Helpful
Some nausea while adjusting dosage, but has vastly improved physical coordination/reaction time, sleep problems, etc. Still struggling with depression, migraines, some hair loss, but too soon to tell? Body may be playing catch-up. Immune system is still a bust, which is aggravating, and is going to cost me my job, even though I'll still work when sick unless bedridden by fever/chills/coughing-so-hard-repeated-tossing-of-cookies-occurs. But hopeful.
Somewhat Helpful
Because I swing hyper to hypo, hard to stabilize.
Somewhat Helpful
I did not do well on Synthroid and switched to Armour. I am taking 3.5 grains and am still experiencing hypothyroid symptoms.
Somewhat Helpful
I've been taking low dose Armour for about two months now with only slight improvement. My T3 is in normal level now, but T4 is still subclinical low and I'm still feeling very tired and foggy.
Somewhat Helpful
Helps with my low body temperature
Somewhat Helpful
Just kept the thyroid numbers level but noone ever checked my physical symptoms, so I never felt good.
