I took Armour meds for many years and was my labs were all over the place.  My endocrinologist changed my meds to Levoxyl.  He expressed to me that I should never take Levothyroxine as its compound is as unpredictable as Armour.  I have been taking Levoxyl for about 10 years and when I lost my insurance Levothyroxine was cheaper.  I questioned a Nurse Practiticianor and the Pharmacist before switching.  They both told me there was no difference.  I was only on this med for 2 weeks and it thru my thyroid into a storm.  I went right back to Levoxyl.  There has been some media coverage regarding this lately.  Levothyroxine appears to be compunded as unpredictable as Armour.  I also am allergic to Synthroid, but I believe it is not a true allergy but a sensitivity to the binding compound.  Please give Levoxyl a try.
