l was on synthroid for l4 years before trying armour.....it was an adjustment because the synthetics was like taking nothing and armours actually does something metabolically.....l was on .088 when l went to my doc...which he said was not enough anyways....said l should have been on at least .l25 as thats the average dose for a woman....l told him there was no way l could take that amount....it would make me a wreck....thats why he switched me to armours....half of his patients are on synthetics and half on armours.....he said .l25 is equal in activity to 3 grains...l started at l grain for 2 weeks then 2 grains for 2 weeks and then onto 3 grains.....and still at about my 3rd week l went really hypo and was crying for no reason.....it went away but it took me 8 weeks on the 3 grains to feel better......thats the adjustment lm talking about....my daughter is l9 and went right onto armours...he told her 3 grains too so she would have enough t4 but it was too much for her as she went from l20 lbs down to ll0...so now she is on 2 l/2....if you are in need of a full replacement dose you will need 2 l/2 to 3 grains......good luck to ya....
