[QUOTE="HarryCat, post: 10066, member: 856"] I'm a little hesitant because what works for me may not work for you. First a little background and some examples of what people experience when a thyroid med that was working for them is reformulated or becomes unavailable. The reformulation of Armour in 2009 is perhaps the most famous recent example. See: [url]http://thyroid.about.com/od/thyroiddrugstreatments/a/armour-reformulation.htm[/url] Another example is when Levoxyl was removed from the market, see [URL="https://www.facebook.com/notes/mary-shomon-thyroid-patient-advocate-author/for-thyroid-patients-affected-by-the-unavailability-of-levoxyl-until-mid-2014/10151557818453007"]here[/URL]. And if you want to do a really deep dive into why people can have such vastly different experiences on different formulations, read through the "State of the Art" section of the patent for Tirosint [URL="http://www.google.com/patents/US7723390"]here.[/URL] It gives you the impression that it is a minor miracle that any oral thyroid medication actually works for anybody. As far as what I've tried, I started with old formula Armour, when that became unavailable I tried desiccated thyroid from a compounding pharmacy, then Natur-Throid. Although I felt somewhat better on these I was still suffering. I was off thyroid meds for a few years then found a new Doc and started on combination of Tirosint and compounded desiccated thyroid. That didn't work very well so I tried Synthroid for a short while. That was worse so I went back to Tirosint, but when the price of Tirosint more than doubled last year I went on Unithroid. That was far worse than anything I had tried before so my Doc said to try Sandoz, since a lot of his patients were reporting good results with that. I tried it and for the first time in years I feel good again. My sleep has vastly improved, my energy level, mood, brain fog, it has been a lifesaver. Sandoz is one of the generics so if you do decide to try it you have to make sure the pharmacy doesn't sub one of the other generics. This happens to me almost every time I go for a refill. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
