90 is high as a starting dose. You need to let your body get use to the T3 that Armour or any other NDT contains. I have been on NDT for a few years and do remember having some of the same symptoms on a lower dose...but I stuck with it and within a week or so the symptoms went away and I was able to gradually increase my dose. I do now split my daily dose so the T3 is spread over the whole day.
