Thank you, Jesus! I am so glad I googled this am. I have gained about 10 pounds since I started taking this -about 3 months ago. I feel anxious, sleep like crap, and I am just as lethargic as before!!!!!!- Anyhow, I want to know if most of you went off of the synthroid cold turkey or weaned off over a couple of weeks time? I am going to checkout this armour supplement. Thanks to all who shared- rn in az
Gabrielli - I had been on Snythroid for 20 years and was so nuts from being sick with headaches, allergies, sinus, depression, weight gain, etc., I could no longer deal with it. After asking my Dr. for 5 years to give me Armour, he finally did when I said I wouldn't take anything else anymore. Synthroid should be taken off the market.. It has a component in it called acacia, causes allergies in "some" people and I was one.... I've had Armour for 2 weeks now, but only God knows what dose is correct. Everyone I know on Synthroid is depressed, what is that about??? Anyway, I feel better, but still a little tired so I guess I need a higher dose. Whatever I need I can assure you I'll have to figure out for myself...
Gabrielli - Forgot to say I went off the Synthroid one day and started Armour the next. Not sure if that's the thing to do but had little advice on it. I was taking 137mcg Synthroid and take 1 1/2 g Armour at present. I can't believe what I've read lately on the Thyroid issues. I was to busy to ever
research any of it until now. It's a total mess for a lot of people and it shouldn't be.
Rninaz - thanks for the reply---i tell you i am sick of the docs pushing us to stay on meds. even when we start feeling worse than when we walked through their doors. also, my dr. told me they are no longer making armour---i guess this was total bs!!!!!! anyhow, i wish you the best with the new med. and take it easy. please fill me in if you have good results with the armour. -annette
