Suggest Dosage Of Armour For Hypothyroidism

Hi. I was on Armour thyroid for over a year for hypothyroidism. # months ago a new dr. told me to just switch to Levothyroxine. Apparently Armour is Old school . So here I am 3 months later, miserable, gaining weight and feeling like I am going crazy again. I want to go back on Armour but have been hearing a lot of good things about Nature thyroid. I am currently taking 2.025 MG of Levo. What eould be a good beginning dose of Armour & or NT???

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have hypothyroidism and you were taking armour. now you are taking levothyroxin and you have again symptoms of hypothyroidism.

You can go for armour or you can increase the dosage of levothyroxine.

But before setting the dosage of any medicine you should check your T3, T4 and TSH level. So get done with thyroid hormones level and give me feed back about results so that I can help you further.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
