armour thyroid and phentermine

Only people who do not make their own T4 should have Armour because Armour is Pig Thyroid and they have higher levels of natural T4. My understanding is this is what produces adrenaline. You might feel good having the high levels of adrenaline in your system (which is the reason a lot of Armour patients report high satisfaction) but they also have the related heart, stroke etc problems. Think about what stress does to your system, this is adrenaline. I switched to Synthroid.

I do not have a thyroid n I take armour thyroid medicine. I weigh too much and wasn't too lose weight. what can I take our do to help. Exercise does NOT work eating right does not work.

yes, I was taking levothyroxine and had the same issues. I switched to dessicated thyroid (thyroid NP or Armour) and have not had the problem since. Google them and you will find a lot of info or check out *************************....good luck!

Also, have you had vitamin and mineral tests? Defiiencies of vitamins D and B-12, iron and ferritin can all cause symptoms similar to thyroid (especially fatigue).

I have been taking Phentermine 37.5 and synthroid .088 for about 4 months now. I just found out a few days ago I am pregnant. I figured I should stop taking the Phentermine but I didn't know if it would have any effects on the baby already. Also I did not know if I can continue to take the synthroid?

I have regularly been checked for thyroid and diabetes. I do take medication for bipolar disorder and manic depression. Neither of these drugs are supposed to cause weight gain either. Phentermine is a stimulant/appetite suppressant. I am going to try liposage slim wrap this week and see if that helps.

Is it OK to use phentermine and levothyroxine together? If not what diet medications are safe to use with levothyroxine? I suffer with such low energy, even though my levels are good.

Did they give you the reference ranges for your FT3, TT4 and TPOab? Ranges vary lab to lab, so they have to come from your own lab report. Do you know the name of the pill they gave you? Was this prescribed by a doctor?

i would like to know if there is any reason why i should not take methimazole and phentermine at the same time and/or if the phentermine could possibly cause my hyperactive thyroidism to return.

There are no listed interactions with Phentermine and Synthroid however i would check with a pharmacist if you do not want to talk to your doctor.

Yes, I have been tested for both high and low thyroid, and all were within normal levels. (2 doctors checked) I do not have diabetes and I too feel like the calorie (or lack of) is an issue but I just expected something to work by now. I just am at a loss. She renewed my RX for phentermine... the last one supposedly as it can only be given for 3 months. Some people said tonight I looked like I had lost but the clothes and the scale do not say the same.

A doctor prescribed me a combo of Redotex in the morning and 30mg Phentermine HCl at lunch (for weight loss). Is it dangerous? These are the active ingredients of Redotex: o Tri iodothyronine (Triyodotironina) 75 mcg. A hormone used to increase the metabolic rate of tissues. o Norpseudoephedrine (Clorhidrato de D Norseudoefedrina) 50 mg. An amphetamine like drug. o Atropine sulfate (Sulfato de Atropina) 0.36 mg. Used as a respiratory and circulatory stimulant. o Aloin (Aloina) 16.2 mg.

I went to the Dr as I had an inability to lose weight and tired and swelling in fingers and feet. I have been on Armour for the past 7 months and was on Synthoid for 9 months prior to that. I took 120mcg of Armour (2 grains) and 100 mcg of Synthoid when I was on that. I eat a low carb diet (40 - 80g a day) and was not losing weight. I also put on a huge amount of weight in December when I went off my diet for a few weeks after my mom died and the holidays. I gained 15 lbs in Dec.

I had my thyroid removed years ago. I only had one side that develop and a goiter formed and it was removed. Tonight I had to go to the hospital due to rapid heart beat, when I got there my blood pressure was high 200/180 and my heart rate was 210. I told them that the doctor put me on a diet medication and I had lost 33 pounds in a month. They tried to get blood from me and they could not get any it took ten tries. Teat was ran and they said my thyriod was to high my dose is 0.

My doctors suggest that I take Phentermine but im taking levothyroxine 88mg and Cytomel 5mg due to thyroidectomy 3 years ago and I have gain weight due to hypothyroidism. Have anyone tried the phentermine while on levothyroxine and Cytomel?

I dont think taking thyroxin with Armour is wise as the Armour already has a T4 med in it and you are taking T4 as well (thyroxin). Is there any reason for this? Usually you are one or the other. All you are doing by taking thyroxin is to 'boost' the Armour. And that in itself would cause symptoms as it could elevate your FT4 which then converts to T3...hence the tremors..

One of my kids has taken phentermine and it did help a little. However she has just this week learned she has hypothyroidism and that may be another reason her metabolism is sluggish. She is now on thyroid medicine and hoping it may be somewhat helpful in the big picture. Wish I could be more helpful. I hope you get answers soon. Good luck!

You will either remain off somewhat with your Armour if you chose to stay on Xanax - or better yet, ween off the Xanax and then adjust your thyroid hormones naturally with the Armour so all the hypo symptoms leave and you truly are well then again without that garbage anxiety meds causing you grief.

I have been taking phentermine on and off for almost 15 years, I have never needed it for weight loss only the amazing energy it gave me, I know it is a little late to decide they probably are doing my health no good at all but hey, better late than never. I have tried hundreds of times to stop taking them but the chronic fatigue I get keeps me going back.

t benefit from Synthroid - you are very lucky your found Synthroid to work best for you - it is the thyroid drug of choice and many doctors will not continue Armour if you need to change to someone else. Go back to what works - and the question is still ot there - Why did you try it if Synthroid was working?

I am within my first week of taking phentermine. Will the cheat tightening and sleeplessness ease up in the next week or two? I am on the lowest dose, 15mg.

I have been so itchy the pass two weeks and it is driving me crazy and the only medicine I am on is Armour Thyroid. I was wondering if the Armour or my thyroid condition can be the cause of what is going on with me. It is driving me crazy and I am not sure what to do. I am not only itchy I also have some hives on my body in a couple of places and in some spots it looks like a heat rash. I am not sure if it is from me scratching these areas or something else.
