Actavis v. Forest Armour Thyroid

I have been on Armour thyroid for 10 years after taking synthroid for 3. I had a horrible time on synthroid. Armour was truly life saving for me. But 3 months ago my 90 day prescription refill came from Actavis instead of Forest. I noticed I was getting tired easily about mid-April. I increased my exercise, thinking I was just not moving enough. By mid- May the weight gain started. I have changed my workouts but the weight seems to be increasing daily! I have gained 25 pounds in these three months. What is going on?? Have they changed the formula? Can I get Forest's Armour thyroid again? I feel exactly as I did when on synthroid. I thought I would never have to go back to feeling like that again. Please help!!

Actavis have bought out Forest and several people appear to be having problems.... Assuming this means the product has been reformulated. Here is an article about it.
