During my internet research, Armour Thyroid was mentioned a lot as was the fact that most drs are reluctant to use it since it is an animal product, etc. I did find one article,however, that stated that there is a synthetic T3 available. Doc must be very knowledgeable re proper amt's of T3 and T4 to prescribe. Apparently, if you are given T3, they need to reduce your T4 dosage. It is likely impossible to do with Armour as I'm assuming that both T3 and T4 exist together as one unit. Perhaps that's why some feel they are getting too much T3 on Armour. I dug out my research articles that I will be taking with me to my endo next week. For those who wish to read them, here are the addresses:
www.thyroid.ca/Articles/neweng.html and

Also, check out www.thyroid.org and look under the frequently asked questions section for thyroid hormone treatment. It discusses T3 as well. Good luck.
