Sometimes less of the natural with an added synthetic to bring up the T4 can do wonders.
I take Nature Throid (basically same as Armour with different binders) I also take Unithroid which is a synthetic T3. I have the same problem you do if I am on the natural only, my T3 gets too high and my T4 stays too low.
I also have tried Armour, but for me the Nature Throid works better. I take 100mcg Unithroid and 1/2 grain Nature Throid. Just the little bit of Nature Throid helps me a lot.
So, you may want to try taking the Synthroid and only a small amount of Armour. That way, you are getting the T3 plus the other T's in the Armour but you are getting the T4 your body seems to need.
