Armour Dose Changes & Timings

With straight T3 you have to allow time between altering timing/dose change.

But if using NDT ( Armour ) do you have to apply the same wait time between a change to dose?

I've been taking low dose for 6 weeks & adjusting 1/2 hour time changes quite frequently recently.

Yeah it's the same thing with ndt. Got to wait anything from two to six weeks between changes :0/

Yes, it is always advisable to give time between changes and that applies also to anything which contains T3 or a combination. 6 weeks should be quite enough to judge if it is too much - or too little.

Time variations will show themselves quite fast because of the T3 in Armour. I do not take it so apart from this I cannot make any suggestions, hopefully someone who is on Armour can give you some more help.
