Hi,
If someone can help with this matter I would greatly appreciate it. I cut back my levoxyl from 37.5 to 25 because I could not take side effects. That was 3 weeks ago.They were dizziness, ibs, some nausea, palps. 4 weeks ago I had blood work while on the 25 mg levoxyl and 105 of armour. It was the following ft4 1.42 ft3 3.2. Blood work yesterday was ft4 1.58 ft3 4.6. So i guess I have to cut back on armour but I don't know how much and I'm thinking my guess will be as good as the doc. Any thoughts? Worried about being hyper now and I thought I was actually hypo with some of the symptoms. Heated at night on and off, some palps, some racing but more anxiety related, crap stomach on and off, some depression. Does anyone know if these most recent results would be up to date or is it from weeks ago?
Thank u, Fran

I always have my labs done at 7:30am prior to taking any drugs. That way I know that my comparison is always correct.
