Update on splitting daily dose of medication

Wendyma1

Hi all,

I had some people ask me to get back to them to see if splitting my daily dose of Armour made a difference! Well, I have now split my dose for two days and I'm here to tell you, it makes a huge difference!!! I usually crash and can barely keep my eyes open at the office starting between 2 and 3 and it used to just go downhill from there. The last two days I have been consistent in my energy. I wish I had a bit more, but I'm assuming since I just started Armour a week ago that I will eventually go up in dose as time goes on.

But it works people, split your dose!

That's fantastic!! Glad to hear it's working out so well for you.

my doc had me split my cytomel, the synthroid stayed the same. I had the same experience as you. Great isn't it! My only problem is remembering to take the middle of the day dose.

That's great! :flowerforyou:
So happy for you, that you're feeling so much better. I split my Isocort dose, take half in morning, half after lunch. I think it would be really hard to take Armour in the afternoon, because of calcium consumption. How many hours between your doses of Armour? I take mine at midnight.
Thanks for the update too.

I take my meds at 6:15am and then again at 1:00pm. I dont have to worry about calium intake since I dont really eat any diary, I take my supplements, that have calcium in them, around bedtime, so about 11:00pm.

I have my coffee with cream, and a smoothie, in the morning about an hour after my meds. Consistency is key, as your dose will eventually get adjusted.

I guess my next question would be when does the puffiness in my face go away? I noticed a lot of puffiness around my eye around where it wasnt there about a month ago! Not liking it at all! Does this go away once I'm at a proper dose? Please dont tell me I have to look like this forever!!!???
