After increase in the armour, from 30-60-90-120 in a 2 month period, which led to severe hyper symptpoms I've had recently, I am back on 15 mg. I take half at about 7 am and the other half around 12.  I am newly diagnosed, (3 months) and having a difficult time with all the symptoms. Mainly, Because it went undiagnosed and untreated for so long.

Stella, congratulations on Euthyroid. What  a blessing.

My thyroid condition is Euthyroid after 6 yrs of  suffering.

120 mg (2grain) and aprroved by doctor to increase  daily/monthly if needed

Doctor not doing anything about change in dosages available -  the pharmacy is conpensating with other mg (grain) levels to get me what I need.

Thanks C! He said if I felt I needed a bump, to go ahead. I take the 30 mg at 7 and 30 at 12. Now since I bumped... I take 15mg table, split it so I am taking 7.5mgs extra with each 30 mg dose. So really taking 37.5 in am and at noon. Just to go slow.

Make sure you call your Dr to let him/her know in case of emergency it is in your charts and probably need bloodwork in 6 weeks ......... C~

I am on 75 mgs. I just bumped myself yesterday. My Dr and pharmacist told me yesterday that they arent too concerned... They said worst case... I may need to take more pills to equal my dose if I do become on a higher dose... I called a few pharmacies and they have plenty of the 15, 30, 60 and some had the 90's..

I am 'just hypo' and I currently take 15 mg two times a day. I believe I need a higher dose, but it's the wait and see game.
