I have done it when i had to and it was the same type of med- not like mixing armour with synthroid or anything . I think I would have been alright with it if new Armour didn't have an adverse effect on me. I did add the Acella to my compounded when I was on it. Not saying to do it, but I did and it was not a big deal.
ps, i posted my labs the other day, mine are high too, but i feel great

I kind of figured this would happen. When something works for me, it eventually goes away. I luckily have enough on hand for another month and getting a new refill this coming week as long as my bandaid doctor remains confused, I should have some back-up but then moving to Ohio, so this should be fun! Sorry to hear it, for both of us- all of us.

yea i hear you i was  trying to get to the right dose before doing that (keeping a Backup) plus wasn't sure if this NP would work. I'm going to switch to home delivery 3 months at a shot once everything is settled.  if i don't  slip into a coma first. Kevin

my doctor is cool and will write for double of what i need.  SO she writes for "to be taken twice daily"   I know a place that you can get a months worth very quickly to hold you over if you still need (send me a private email)

good point better to be ahead of the game....being in a hypo state is the worst....sometimes you can get a little from the pharmacy if they have some to tide you over until you can get a full order

Might look online too.  

Always try to keep a months more of any thyroid med before reordering. Do what you need to do to accomplish this. Opps....Dr,I lost my last bottle somewhere? -, now I need more ahead of time.....
