I already threw my 2 cents in, I've got a 4 month supply of Acella, hopefully shortage ends soon.

Compounded is basically the same thing as Acella, Armour or Efra- just different fillers.

You should either stick with a compounded med or the natural combo; why would you want to combine them, when your levels are already showing hyper?

If I were having a problem getting Acella, I'd switch to an equivalent compound until I could get the Acella again. There's no way I'd ever try to combine them.  

I'd go one or the other, but not both......
