mcg vs grains
Dr Lupo-
My Dr is switching me to Armour from Synthroid. My dose was just lowered to 88 from 125. My Dr said he is going to put me on 45grains on Synthroid because he said that is very close to the 88. Is this true? He alsi said its not just one pill like the Synthroid. He also wants me to stop the Synthroid tomorrow and then 5 days from then start the Armour. He said because the T3 in Armour is very fast acting and letting my body have a break in the 5 days will be an easier transition to the Armour. He said if I go from Synthroid to Armour I could get extremely hyper. Sound about right?

Dr Lupo.. is it harmful to wait the 5 days?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
This sounds reasonable, but most do fine w/o waiting 5 days. 45mg may not be enough so retesting in 6 weeks would be important.
