Visit to The Dr. 9 weeks after last injection...
Its been just over 9 weeks since Ive been off a good Test/Deca /Fina cycle. I followed with all my Nolva and Clomid as well. So I got a cold the other day and went in to get a Z-Pack. As I was there the Dr. tells me he noticed that one of my eyes was "more wide open" than the other. I also have noticed that but have never thought anything of it. The Dr. went on to say this was a symptom of OVERACTIVE thyroid. So he reccommended thyroid testing as well as free testosterone test. A little nervous, I went to get some blood drawn (in the back of my head I knew my test levels were very low because of the cycle I just came off of). A Week later the blood work came back and he said I had a LOW thyroid and perscribed 2 months worth of Thyroid-ARMOUR mfd. By FOREST pharm. A 30mg tab 1x per day. He said this should me feel not quite as sluggish, help increase my matablisim and overall make me feel better. HELL YES!!!!
I did a little reaserch on this drug but MY QUESTIONS ARE......Is this the same stuff as T3? (I know it also has T4 & is that good or bad?) Will it lean me up if I increase my dosage to 1 tab 2x per day (1in the am 1in the pm?) And is that safe? By safe I mean not life threatning......Any feedback will be awesome

i think if the doctor prescribed you that certain dosage you shouldn't mess with it because it was given for a reason...especially after some test results.

did you not look at any of the results? Doctors get kickbacks on drugs and dont make any real money off doctor visits from insurance companies unless they prescribe you something. You may not even need it. Be wary

Armour thyroid is a dessicated animal thyroid preparation. In other words, it is from ground up animal thyroids. The actual amount of hormone is somewhat variable, which is why pure preparations of t3 and t4 were developed. I haven't heard of that stuff being used by any MD born after 1920. The fact that somebody is using this product makes me nervous. Do you have your actual lab results?

I do not have nor have I seen the results. To get them can I just call the drs office and just ask to pick up a copy? Does anyone know if a Dr. would prescribe this stuff to stimulate thyroid or more as a long term effort to supplement natural thyroid production?

If he prescribed you Armour, your hypothyroid. Armour will make your T3/T4 go up, making your metabolism go higher. But DON'T use it for making you lean and shed out fat.
You don't want to mess with your thyroid man. HYPERthyroid is not a place to be. You start losing your hair, insomnia, eyes pop out, and worst of all its catablic

So if I tell the doc that Im off cycle and that may be why My tests are a little low what would I have to look forward to? I mean besides the verbal bash about how bad they are and blah ba blah ba blah ba blah......He is a medical professional and there is a fine line between patient confidentally and illegal activities. I guess what Im getting at is would you tell him you are between cycles or would you just let it ride, Because he hasnt specifically come out and asked me WHY my levels could be off. Thanks for everyones input!!
