Congratulations on feeling better....I took Unithroid, Synthroid, and Levoxyl and felt horrible on those, not to mention 25 mcg wasnt enought but 50 mcg made me hyper! I asked my Endo about Armour and felt better as soon as I started it. I'm now up to 3 grains (started at 1 grain a year ago) and feel pretty good, I just was increased on Monday to 3. I think Armour is a whole lot better than synthetic in my opinion. Look for the hypo symptoms creeping back up on you in a couple of weeks. I know usually in about 3 weeks if I need to increase, I get sleepy in the middle of the day and have muscle pain terribly. Unfortunatly, my doc wont increase without labs done, so that puts me having to wait a full 3 months before I can increase, unless I call him and really complain! Good luck on Armour, I know I'll never go back to synthetic:)
