[QUOTE=pseudoecho;3122134]Would armour have a similar effect since it is t3 and t4 or does the synthroid/cytomel combination work in another way? Thank you.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Navy"]Armour does seem to work for many whose bodies don't seem to convert enough T3 from T4 supplied. Some who try it find the T3 to T4 ratio is too high for them and adjust that one of two ways:

1. Reduce the Armour and add some synthetic T4
2. Switch to synthetic T4 (Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothroid, Unithroid, etc.) and synthetic T3 (Cytomel) as Red Maple did. If you look at her post history, you'll see she did try Armour and had trouble with it.
