Armour Thyroid in London... any suggestions?

Hi all,

Hope you are keeping safe in these scary times!

I've been on Armour Thyroid for a few years in Canada and the US. I have moved to London and now am really struggling to find someone who can prescribe it. Can you share some advice for who can prescribe and where I might find it? I am terrified of going back to feeling hazy and lethargic and depressed like I was before I went on it. Synthroid and Levo both didn't work for me and that is all I can seem to find here.

Thank you!

Samantha

This is a list with some pharmacies in the UK that dispense NHS and private prescriptions for natural desiccated porcine thyroid extract:

I was referred to a prescriber by a specific pharmacy, and was able to get a prescription for Armour. I'm relatively new here, so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a specific pharmacy. I'll see if I can send you a private message.
