Anyone feel better after using Synthroid and Armour combo versus Armour alone?

20 years ago I had RAI for hyperthyroid. Was first put on synthroid.112..UGH is all I can say. Hated it. So I switched to Armour 90. Been on it for over 10 years now. Loved it compared to Synthroid alone. However I have to skip a pill here and there on Armour because I get hyper symptoms. All my levels are good except T4 is on low end which I know is normal on Armour. However me being me I like to achieve as perfect balance to normal as I can. So I am switching to NP Thyroid 60 and levo 25 tomorrow. I know the ratio is a tad lower than what I was getting with Armour 90, but maybe I wont have to skip any pills.

I was wondering if anyone had done this with great success, felt better than Armour alone?

Thanks for your reply. I have hyper symptoms here and there, some everyday like fatigue and anxiety. Occasional heart palps and sob. Usually I will skip a pill or two to make it more manageable. My levels have always been very stable, but just want the anxiousness to go, as lately it seems to have been getting worse along with the other symptoms, that is why I made the choice to make this change now instead of years ago.
