How Can Side Effects Of Armour Thyroid Be Managed?

Are many hypothyroid patients allergic to all thyroid meds? My mom took radioactive iodine in 1998 and then tried Synthroid several times only to stop it because it made her deathly sick. Now she's on Armour and seems to be having the same problem- weak tired dizzy eventho she started with avery small dose. the doctor told her to quadruple the dose and she was deathly sick. What should we do now?
