I recently started taking Thyroid (armour) 0.5gr (30mg) Tabs for hypothyroidism. I've been on it for about a month now, and while I've noticed some improvements in my energy levels, I've also experienced some side effects like hair loss and irritability. I've read that hair loss is usually temporary, but I'm still worried. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how long did it take for the hair loss to stop? Also, I've noticed that I'm feeling more nervous and irritable than usual. Is this a common side effect, and should I be concerned? I've been trying to manage it with some relaxation techniques, but I'm not sure if I should talk to my doctor about it. Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I switched from synthroid to armour and I dont feel better on armour, I feel tired and im having mood swings. Has anyone else felt this way? I thought armour was supposed to be better but I am really questioning that now. It seems that synthroid atleast helped with my fatigue but now im just moody and having a hard time.

I started taking Thyroid (armour) a few months ago, and I've had some pretty bad side effects. I've been feeling shaky and having trouble sleeping. It's been really tough. I haven't mentioned it to my doctor yet since I feel they won't be able to help. I'm wondering if it might not be the right medication for me.

I've been on Thyroid (armour) for a few years now, and I did experience some hair loss at the beginning. It took about 3-4 months for it to stop, but it grew back eventually. As for the irritability, it can happen, but it might be worth mentioning to your doctor. They might adjust the dose or switch you to a different medication if it's really bothering you. Hang in there!

I've been on Thyroid (armour) for a few months and I've had some issues with excessive sweating and sensitivity to heat. It's been really uncomfortable, but I've kept an eye on it and talked to my doctor about it. He assured me it was a common side effect and it should go away eventually. It's been tough, but I'm hoping it will be worth it in the end.

I've been on Thyroid (armour) for a while and overall, I've had a positive experience. I did have some initial side effects like headaches and stomach cramps, but they went away after a few weeks. I think it's important to give your body time to adjust to the medication. Stick with it for a bit longer and see if things improve. Good luck!
