That's likely your problem. You need to find another doctor that will prescribe an NDT like Armour. Endos can't/won't prescribe NDTs, only synthetics that don't work for the majority of thyroid patients (and studies have already proven this).
I wasted about a year on levo (and also include Cytomel) until I found a doctor who would prescribe an NDT. I had to leave my endo and then I found a new doctor at an integrative/functional medicine clinic that would prescribe Armour. A little while later, I discovered my primary care doctor was willing to prescribe Armour so now that's how I get it. I haven't seen an endo in years. My mom had to do the same thing, as have countless people that I know because endos won't prescribe NDTs.
Check out Stop the Thyroid Madness and Hypothyroid Mom if you haven't already. They both also have Facebook (StTM Facebook and HM Facebook) and YouTube pages (StTM YouTube) that you should check out. They're both wonderful sources of information and I believe they will really help you.
If you like to read, definitely read the two STTM books:
Here is a clip from a study proving NDTs work better than synthetics...
"Participants were “blinded” during both phases – they did not know the type of pill they received. After each treatment period patients were weighed, had blood tests, underwent psychometric testing and were asked which therapy they preferred. The researchers report that 49% of the patients preferred desiccated thyroid extract, 19% preferred levothyroxine and 23% had no preference. Desiccated thyroid extract use was also associated with more weight loss." - Summaries for Patients from Clinical Thyroidology (from recent articles in Clinical Thyroidology): Desiccated thyroid extract vs Levothyroxine in the treatment of hypothyroidism
