I do drink red wine. I have not found it to be a problem. Although for about six months I only drank white. I think it was one of the articles someone posted with the actual tested tyramine content in some of the old "no-no's" that made me decide to try it again.
I do think the thyroid has contributed to the most recent weight gain, but even when thyroid has been stable I've been gaining. But yes, it makes sense to see what the Armour does, too.
I take thyroid meds, an allergy pill, and Nardil, basically. Plus a vitamin, calcium, magnesium milk thistle (just started this) and fish oil. So if I add the Topamax, it's still not all that much, although I do have to carry around a pill box and use an alarm system to keep it all organized.
I see pdoc Friday. If she wants to go with switching from Nardil to Parnate then I will hold off on the Topamax. But I will need something to help me through the switch, because everytime I try to decresase Nardil by even one pill (15mg), the excessive sleeping comes back.
Although, I should see how that goes, too, once my thyroid is back to "normal".
Thanks for your thoughts. I'll let you know what comes of Friday.
