Advice & Tips:
You may notice that you are able to concentrate better, have more energy, but are not jittery or anxious. If you do feel anxious you may be taking too much. I also no longer have the fibromyalgia-like or depressive symptoms now that I am on Armour Thyroid.

Advice & Tips:
Since I started taking LDN I have slowly needed to go down on Thyroid meds. Aug to Sept . '14 I have gone down to only 60 mgs every 2 or 3 days!!! I am now AK testing off Chlorella and Molybdenum. I think the LDN have helped my Immune System w/my Hashimoto's, and cut my mood swings down.
