thyroidstory.mivox.com was started as a simple blog dealing with my new diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Topics include medical information about hypothyroidism, information about hypothyroid medications like levothyroxine (Synthroid) and Armour Thyroid, as well as natural supplements like Thyromine, vincopectine and various vitamins and minerals. The site has now expanded to include discussion forums where other hypothyroid patients can discuss their experiences with hypothyroidism, and share tips for what medications, supplements and weight loss strategies have worked best for them.

I'm on 100 mcg of Unithroid and 15 mg of Armour. I convert T4 to T3 just fine, so there's no real reason for me to increase the T3 levels.

At 2.9 it's no wonder you still have hypo symptoms--although your T4 number (if it's free T4 and the range is .8 - 1.8) looks good. You should be aiming to get your TSH under 2. 1-1.5 is ideal--although some people don't feel well until it's really low. Armour generally has the effect of suppressing TSH so the fact that yours is far from that indicate you need a higher dosage.

What's your free T3 level? It's possible you need more T3 and that adding Cytomel to the Armour might be needed.
