[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 115997, member: 18023"] My prescription is 60 mgs, 1 grain. Cutting it in half, I took 30 mg, ½ grain, Armour thyroid at 7:00 AM. It gave me a buzz a little like a lot of caffeine, then about 7:00 PM I got sleepy, had a big headache. I assume this mean all the T3 had been eliminated. I thought ½ grain was too much. The next day I still had a mild headache, I took a tiny amount and it seem to make the headache go away. I didn’t take any for a couple of days after that. A few days later, I cut the pill into quarters, so that is about ¼ grain, then took ¼ at 7:00 and ¼ at 12:000 noon, which felt better. Before treatment: T4 6.4 ug/dL FT4 1.06 ng/dl TSH 2.0 Rt3 16.4 ng/dL FT3 2.7 pg/mL For a couple of days now, the only thing that feels different is a little tightness in my head, I can’t really tell if I have more energy, it’s not obvious. Maybe my BP and heart rate are up a bit, not a lot. I think that since I don’t seem to have a problem converting T4 to FT3, I might do better on Levothyroxine which is T4 only. Not convinced, just researching at this time. I am not sure what taking this should do for me and how soon? What effects have others felt? [/QUOTE]
