Stewart, if you post your latest test results for TSH, FT4 and FT3, with reference ranges, and say how much Levo you are taking, members will comment.

stewartleakusethis,

100mcg Levothyroxine is roughly equivalent to 1.5mcg Armour. I would start by reducing Levothyroxine to 50mcg and adding 1 grain Armour and after 2 weeks stop Levothyroxine and raise Armour to 1.5 grains.
