Armour Thyroid and Insomnia
It is impossible for your healthcare provider to know whether you will develop insomnia while taking Armour Thyroid. Also, in some cases, if a person does develop insomnia, it is difficult to determine if these problems are because of the drug or other, unrelated reasons. The best way to determine whether your insomnia is caused by Armour Thyroid is with a simple blood test.
If you develop insomnia while taking Armour Thyroid, make sure to talk with your healthcare provider. He or she may be able to recommend other treatment options, such as adjusting your Armour Thyroid dose or trying a sleep medication.
