Armour increase jittery feeling

1 Reply

I have recently gone from 2 grains to 2 1/4 grains. By the 2nd week I was feeling very jittery and had a few hyper symptoms(increased HR and even diarrhoea for a day). I have gone back to 2 grains and can feel myself slowly going hypo again.

I usually feel slightly hyper on the 2nd week but this time was a lot stronger. I will try to go back up by alternate days next time. I know iron and adrenal s can be an issue but they seem OK. I have read that some people are just very sensitive to increases, anyone else experience this?

Thanks

TheHoggles, Cutting your 1/4 grain down and increasing by 1/8 grain daily may be better than increasing 1/4 grain alternate days.
