Side effects of New armour

[Dnarose]

Anyone else have any side effects from the new Armour? I have had an extremely fast heart rate at night (140)  weight gain, and more recently... elevated blood presure and a slow (50)  irregular heart rate at my doctor's visit on Thursday.  After experiencing the fast heart rate a few times, I mixed up the Armour, making sure I took mostly old formulsa verses new formula and that seemed to help. I have both formulas, as I stocked up on it by renewing every 23 days instead of every 30 days.  Mos recently, I was only taking  two new formula's a week. To avoid the fast heart rate, I was splitting it up, so that 4 days a week I was taking 1/2 old with half new. The remaining 3 days were all old formula.  I'm now going to try taking only a 1/4 of the new  with 3/4 of the old until its all gone. After that, just maybe Nature-throid will be available.  I'm never going to get a script of the new Armour again.

Its tough right now to find RLC Naturethroid. Should be back in February (but heard that in December too :(

I am pretty happy with Thyroid from Canada.

Glad to hear you are doing OK on Nature-throid. There is hope then. I have my prescription and I'm just waiting for it to become available. Thank God I froze a lot of old Armour. I am using it now and beginning to feel myself again.

I am taking new armour and I am really tired still only had one or two bottles of the old stuff so not long enough to feel the difference.

I did find a pharmacy that has a natural thyroid avaiable I guess like a compunded one not sure if I should give it go or not.  I am having a hard time finding armour.

Hi Sandie,

I've been doing great on the Erfa for the past 2 years.  Very likely you will also do fine on it. :)

I am taking the new Armour and feel like I am being poisoned! I have a fast heartrate upon doing anything physical or just standing up. I have chest pain and flutters throughout my body. They are like little twitches. I think palpitations are making me cough. I am waiting for Erfa to arrive, but I am worried I will still feel like this. I think I stressed my adrenals!

I am doing splendid on it

How are you doing on the Nature-throid?  I have a presciption for it and plan on starting on ity as soon as it becomes available in the 3 grain.

Luckily I have about 4 months of the old formula Armour in my freezer. My newer scripts were for the new formula and I was alternating between old and new formula. Just being on the new 3-4 days a week caused problems. I found 3 months supply of the new in my cabinets and I decided to give it away to someone who does OK on it.   I'm not messing with my health any more. There are a few people that can take the new formula, so hopefully it will help someone during this shortage.

In 2 days I was very ill again after I filled my script and they had the new Armour in there.

Totally went to NT immediately. It took 3 days for me to get over that stuff.
