[QUOTE="VacationMan, post: 184397, member: 12425"] Having been on NatureThroid, then WP Thyroid and then Armour, I can say that they did help. However, you're pretty much stuck with an inability to adjust doses of both T4 and T3 meds to fine tune dosage of both - you get what you get. In my case (Hashimotos), I never could bring TSH down to an acceptable level with any of the desiccated thyroid meds. I could get close to having FT4 and TSH in range, but in doing so the necessary dosage would seriously spike FT3 and make me nine kinds of jittery. Synthetic T4 meds alone could get FT4 in range but wouldn't bring TSH down to a reasonable range. The more T4 I took, the higher my RT3 would go - so my body isn't converting enough T4 to T3. Added a tiny dose of liothyronine (generic Cytomel, 5 mcg) to my T4 med solved it. My FT4 and FT3 are in the upper part of the range and TSH is down below 2.5...for the first time in over 3 years. Plenty of energy now - I feel great! If Armour (or any of the desiccated thyroid meds for that matter) work for you - stick to it. They didn't work for me though. [/QUOTE]
