Avatar f tn Please help me find Armour Thyroid to buy! Was on it and doing so good and now they say they can't get it. Is there anywhere to get it or something identical to it? I was on it and doing so great and now I'm not. I can't take that other stuff and stuff is what it is, please help!
Avatar m tn You have to have a prescription in order to buy Armour. If you see sites selling it without a script, in the U.S. it's not the real thing. It's true that many naturopaths either don't prescribe medications or don't take insurance... Most of them are on a cash only basis and can be pretty expensive, but the up side is that once established, you only have to see them a couple of times/year so it might not be that expensive in the long run.
Avatar f tn After pratically begging my Doctor to switch from Levothyroxin to Armour, he finally wrote a script for it. I'm saying up front that I was taking 125mcg of Levothyroxin an i'm miserable. My dad takes Armour and he said he would never go back to synthethic. My dad has absoutely no Thyroid and is currently on 2 grains of Armour.
Avatar f tn Three months ago, I made the switch to Armour from Synthroid. My symptoms definitely improved, but I am still symptomatic. My most recent labs were: TSH 2.94 (0.34 - 3.48) FT3 5.05 (1.48 - 3.48) high FT4 0.77. (0.89 - 1.76) low I'm guessing my FT3 is high due to the armour, and I've heard in instances such as mine, some people are prescribed a small dose of synthetic T4 to bring FT4 levels up.
Avatar f tn Hi Marigaux! Yes, try the Armour, but also be aware that you may be one of the people, like me, who needs more T3, and therefor must add Cytomel to the Armour dosage. Armour stopped working for me this week, and I figured out on my own by research, that I could possibly need T3, and started taking Cytomel 25 mg Am and 25 mg PM with my 3 grains of Armour, and IMMEDIATELY felt better. This could be your situation, as well.

765572 tn?1234697366 This is not a site I'm familiar with, at all. According to the site, the products are produced in the U.S and the E.U; however, they are shipped from Hong Kong; therefore, I'd be extremely leery if I were really getting what I order. Also, when I tried to look at the Armour, the page kept taking me to NatureThroid, so it looks like they don't really have Armour. I saw some good reviews and some poor ones.
201897 tn?1245842334 Caveat: Just because my nodules are shrinking doesn't dismiss the possibility of cancer. I'm still probably going to have to have yet another biopsy done in a couple of weeks. I also don't suggest doing anything that I've done unless you've thoroughly researched these methods and decided, after a lot of soul searching, that this is the best approach for you. I've also done these under doctor's (not the ENT) supervision.
233759 tn?1210476796 ) I heard a pharmasist say that the drug companies are going to stop making Armour...he said he can no longer get the generic version because the drug companies stopped making it & he believes the brand name Armour is going to be stopped too. I do know that I can no longer buy the generic equivulant anywhere. Have you heard anything about this? 2.) I feel really stupid for asking this question.
647212 tn?1223669611 I may need a higher dose of armour i believe. Do I ask to get my thyroid in good check for a few months before taking any cholesterol lowering meds? What is my bet stragedy?
393685 tn?1425812522 In recent months I have been following the rumors of Armour thyroid medication being in short supply. Since I am an Armour thyroid patient I became concerned with the rumors and started conversing with other Armour patients and advocants of this medication. I know my medication dosages have not changed much from the original 60mg (1 grain) to 30 mg (1/2 grain) So far I am not having trouble getting my refills - but from what I am reading that could be an issue soon until 10/08.
Avatar f tn I am pretty new to the hypothyroid condition (I have autoimmune Hashimotos) I have read non-stop about thryoid conditions and the drugs prescribed for it over the last 3 months. From what I have read T4 only does not often alleviate the symptoms and many people spend years with their symptoms regardless of the dosage they are taking. The drugs may produce "blood test results" that doctors like to see - but the symptoms are still there or become worse. I needed T3, and I knew it.
Avatar f tn The doctor cutting your dosage in half makes no sense to me. Both NatureThroid and Armour Thyroid are made from desiccated porcine thyroid. Both contain the same amount of T4 and T3 per grain: 38 mcg of T4 and 9 mcg of T3. You can look at the following links and see their inactive ingredients. http://www.pdr.net/full-prescribing-information/Nature-Throid-thyroid-496 https://www.drugs.com/pro/armour-thyroid.
Avatar n tn Yes, I'd decrease the Armour and add T4 med. I doubt rT3 has anything to do with it, but you can have it tested next time you have blood work. Many people on Armour, or other desiccated hormones have lower Free T4 and higher Free T3, because of the high T3 content in Armour and T3 being more potent than T4. It's not unusual to have to do this in order to balance out the Free T4 and Free T3.
Avatar f tn I have been on the Thyroid blog with Mary Shoman and I see where others are also having problems but what are we supposed to do when we DO NOT want the articificial thyroid RXs the Drs are so quick to push. Sorrry I bent your ear but I want you to know how much I appreciate your taking the time to answer my message.
Avatar f tn Also, have you had any thyroid tests besides TSH? TSH is a pituitary hormone that is affected buy so many variables, that it is inadequate as the sole diagnostic for thyroid. You really need to be tested for the biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4 every time you go in, along with the TSH.
Avatar f tn I was thinking of switching back to Synthroid with Cytomel.
Avatar f tn The newer Acella NP thyroid, similar to original armour and erfa, can be ordered at walmart, walgreens and target. If I were you, thats what I'd try.
735676 tn?1257572226 If anyone has any info on Armour thyroid being succesfully used for supression of thyroid cancer I would be most grateful to hear of it. Isn't it time that someone in the medical field investigated this topic thoroughly? Good luck Crystal! I hope you get better soon.
Avatar f tn dry skin itchy scalp and carpel tunnell seem to be my lingering symptoms, so i have just ordered Armour 30 mg and would like to slowly change from 150 levothy to armour. I am doing this on my own rather than through the doctor and i am a little scared as i feel the levothyroxin is working but with the above side effects, i want to approach my docter after my next couple of blood tests if thing go well then i will try and get her to do a perscription for armour.
