In November, I was switched from 8 grains/day of Armour thyroid to 3
tabs/day of Thyrolar 1.  Am now on 5 tabs/day of Thyrolar 1.  I went
downhill fast, I am still in a walking coma, and can't get clear-headed
enough to figure out the past posts on conversion.  The literature with my
prescription of Thyrolar doesn't say how many mcg or grains is in one tab
of Thyrolar 1, or how much T4 and T3 is in it.

Maggi, are you talking about Armour or Thyrolar?

Is one tab of Thyrolar 1 equivalent to 1 grain? And is 1 grain of Thyrolar
1 equivalent to 1 grain of Armour, with the same amounts of T4 and T3?

Thanks a bunch.
