Acella NP Thyroid

Just wanted to say I started taking Acella NP Thyroid last week. Was just going to take it a few days until I could order more compounded thyroid but I started to feel so much better after starting it, that i have continued to take it. I had lowered my dose of compounded by only a 1/4 grain because i was unsure about the accuracy of a blood test and had gotten more hypo symptoms, especially my eyes aching constantly. The day I started the Acella, my eyes stopped hurting and I feel more energetic. I have been on old Armour, new Armour-have tried Efra but only lasted a few days on that as IT made my eyes ache. Synthetic has NEVER been a choice for me and I was out of options and compounded was costing me $50 per month. I was on 3 grains Compounded and feeling hypo and I feel that Acella may be a bit more potent. I will update in a month on what the conversion was once I get blood done again. So far so good- feels good!

Hello, My mom is 66 now, she was wrongfully diagnosed with thyroid disease and surgeon rushed to take it out, She is extremely hypo allergenic to almost anything... she takes one from Malasia and Germany, but in few chats we heard that there is natural Pigs thyroid in granules. She cant take anything with additives or with extra stabilization meds, have to be clean, Her T4 level is good, but she is missing T3 at all...she need to have 1/4 of T4 and 3/4 of T3 in dosage. I see that you guys trying Acella and Armour... Whats better or cleaner? Thank you...Alex.

NP Acella Thyroid was 5 dollars a month at Target under my prescription plan. even cheaper if i switch to Home Delivery then it's 10 dollars for 3 months supply. not bad!   Kevin

Thank you!! Funny you should ask what the bottle says! Had a mild crisis last week about just that. I had an extra script for Armour for when I had to bump up my dose slightly and suddenly realized the label said Acella for Thyroid Armour- I freaked out. Had never heard of Acella, hadn't even noticed that before (small light lettering) and was convinced it was why I had had problems in the past. Come to find out my pharmacy had put Armour in that bottle when looking at markings on the pills. talk about confusion-I looked at the other bottle I had stashed, the more recent I had gotten, and it had actual Acella in it. In the course of 24 hours, I figured out that Armour really is poison to me and had never heard of Acella til now, but it looked promising and OF COURSE there was talk of a shortage!!. Very long story short, I called my pharmacy to be sure when I refill it will be Acella, and they said that was what they had. I go to Walgreens and am in Loiusiana and another member here got his at a Target last week in Jersey, i think. We both started roughly on the same day last week. To me, a successful switching of medication is when the med doesn't give you any bad side effects and/or actually makes you feel better. I have had times where my head felt a little "full" not really a headache, but that has passed. Going to have to get the doseage right but I have to say Hello Old Armour? We shall see!! So far so good. I know we are all different, but i would recommend this.
Ps. I got mine for $10 I think andour other member got his for $5!!!

Was it easy to find? I read on STTM and about thyroid that Acella had some shipping delays. Maybe thats already over?

I bet this is cheap with some Rx coverage. For some reason it falls under generic, but that doesnt make sense since pharmacies clearly list it in their data base and distribution as Acella Thyroid.

Curious......What does it say on your bottle label.......Acella NP Thyroid or just Thyroid?

Hope you continue to feel good on it, keep us posted.
