All I can say is WOW!!! Echoing what some others have said. Armour just "stopped working" and it seemed to add unpleasant side effects: hair falling out, inability to concentrate, cold hands and feet, no (zero, zilch, nada) libido. This past year 2013 - 2014 I swear that it seemed to taste chalkier (like a poofy pillow) and like what ever they were using to "bind it" was keeping me from bei...
OMG! I stopped taking this drug today . After reading all the dozens of reviews. I could not figure out why I was so depressed the last 3 months as well as massive hair loss! The last prescription that I picked up smelled like a dead fish! I also read in fine print that it is NOT FDA approved?? Are docs getting a kick back to prescribe this drug??

The short version is, my doctor believed me. He started me on NP Thyroid. Within a few days, brain fog was clearing and I was feeling so much better. My skin started getting softer, I wasn't as tired or sad, facial hair (I am female and I was growing whiskers) was disappearing, my eyes were beginning to feel less dry. After blood work to check T4 levels, my doctor increased my dosage to 90 mg/day. I go back for more blood work in one month. I haven't felt this good in many years. This is definitely the right medicine for me.Read More Read Less

After being on Armour for nearly a year, I tried the NP Thyroid. I am very pleased. It dissolves under your tongue well, and seems to be like what the "old" Armour has been described as.

Dumb, why did I think ground up pig glands would be good for me?
