What To Do If Putting On Weight After Taking Armour Thyroid?

Hi I am taking 90 mg of armour thyroid and I have put on 10 lbs in the last 4 months. My doctor says to be patient, but I feel this is crazy. I workout everyday, eat healthy I shouldn t be putting on so much weight. I m not sure if I should just stop.

Armour thyroid doesent cause wt. Gain. Infact if you take it in high dose it can cause wt. Loss. Either you are taking low dose or some other medicine which causes wt. Gain. Consult an endocrinologist.
