Fun with meds

I've recently started taking armour thyroid and doing fine. I like the idea of being on a natural extract, I'm trying to do the whole "healthy" thing. Meanwhile, I've started the birth control yaz. These two drugs interact, apparently. Has anyone else ever had this problem. Please help

I am hypothyroid and taking Armour thyroid. I attempted to take Yaz and it made me very sick. I had extreme migranes, felt so weak and ill that I couldn't get off the couch.  I was also terribly nauseus on it.  I went to Ortho Tri cyclen LO and it made a world of difference.

  I've never personally had this problem but have heard that birth control does interfere with  thyroid meds- mostly requiring a higher dose.

   good luck
