My doctor started me on Thyroid Armour today. Any time frames on when I might start to feel the effects? Anyone else have any experience with this drug that would be helpful to know?

Thanks!

Hi there, I am on armour thyroid.


Armour has T3 in it which is a short acting thyroid hormone.

Hi Jenn,


I'm not on Armour but I'd be interested in hearing how long it does take for it to make a difference for you.

My doc suggested it. After years of feeling like crap my thyroid levels finally were "unnormal" enough for a doctor to take notice. So, this is my first experience with any kind of thyroid medication, but from what I've read so far I'm happy that he chose to start me with the Armour & see how it does. I'll keep you posted on how it does for me.
