switching from levoxyl to armour

[manio]

I am thinking about switching from levoxyl to armour because I can not get leveled on levoxyl and I'm wondering if there is a waiting period before taking armour.

Yes I have a conversion issue too....when you do switch over let me know and I will give you the info that I have learned about dosaging, testing, and proper levels!
Your other choice is to add Cytomel to your existing Levoxyl. It is sometimes easier to try this route first.
What were your most recent test results?

Thanks for responding.  Yes, I do have hashi's.   My T3 is low and I think I am having a problem converting from T4.  I've been going through this for almost 2 years and still feel horrible.  Thanks again.

What type of leveling problem are you having? No there is no waiting period to take armour...you start the following day you stop taking levoxyl. Do you have hashi's? That may be why you are having such a hard time stabalizing....if that is the case, you will deal with the same thing with Armour. I am on Armour and it takes quite a period of time to adjust and to find proper dosage. It is not a quick fix and you must have patience as is the same for all thyroid meds. Unfortunately the thyroid is a slow fix period for most of us it seems! :) :)
Welcome and look forward to hearing more!
