My tsh is 7.9. i have been taking syntroid25mcg for 8 days. wenr to holistic doc and he prescribed armour 15 mg. can i switch right away?

Yes: These are low doses, appropriate for starting out. Armour thyroid has two kinds of thyroid hormone, T4 and t3, while synthroid (thyroxine) is only t4. Armour doses are typically a bit lower for this reason. You'll need to slowly increase doses and monitor your condition and blood levels with your doctor until you are at the right dose for you.
