Switched 175mcg synthyroid to 60mg armour, told to take 1 grain a day for 1month, how soon can i have lab and have armour raised. switches feb 13th?

Thyroid problem: Usually retest in about six weeks. Be sure to take the thyroid armour medication in the morning on an empty stomach, and do not eat for one hour so that medication can be completely absorbed.

See details: Why were you switched in the first place? Armour thyroid is not as pure and the response not as predictable as it is with synthoid. Check your lab after a month but i personally would have continued you on synthroid (thyroxine).
