The timing issue seems to be very individual.  I can take as much as 
1.5 grain at bedtime and sleep like a log.  I take half of my dose 
first thing in the morning and try to take the other half  around 2PM 
normally, though.  That has worked better for me than taking it all at once.

According to a chart that was in Sticking Out Our Necks (a thyroid 
newsletter), 50mcg of Synthroid would be equivalent to 1/2 grain 
(30mg) of Armour.  Since you alternate between 50 and 62.5 mcg. of 
Synthroid now, you may have to experiment on getting the right dose 
on Armour.  But, the addition of T3 may be enough to keep you from 
having to alternate doses.

Good luck.
