Get it checked: Levothyroxin in correct dose with follow up and normal thyroid profile including TSH and t4, t3 (liothyronine) level will not cause fatigue but if not properly controlled the thyroid disease may cause fatigue. We can not answer about your use of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen without knowing how often nd what dosage you have been using these. But get it checked with an exam and liver function tests to check on liver.

Thyroid meds: Levothyroxine is just replacing what your thyroid should be making. If the dose is correct, it is not damaging to any of your organs. Acetaminophen can be liver toxic if you take too much. Talk to your doctor about your concerns.
