conversion calculation of Armour

How much does 90mg or 1 1/2 grain of Armour translate to how much of T3 or T4. The doctor decided to switch me to Armour for a month to see if my symptoms alleviate more. I been on on 75 synthroid and 15 cytomel ( split into twice a day) . Not sure if 1 1/2 grain is enough or too much.

Thanks

One and a half grains of Armour contain about 58.5 mcg of T4 and 13.5 mcg of T3.  That will be less than your previous dosage of T4 and Cytomel.  

What are you latest thyroid test results and reference ranges?  Also, if tested for Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin, please post those, along with ranges also.
