Hi That is a very low dose, often seem worse before an improvement. At the moment , although the dose of Armour works very quickly , unlike Levo etc., it should for safety be increased slowly with blood tests, repeated. So first re test,4 to 6 weeks time. However, probably worth going up to 1 grain in a few weeks any way, as very tiny dose.Make sure yoy have TSH, T4 and Free T3 tested, important as if effects them all.

Best wishes,

Jackie
