If your thyroid labs: Including tsh, free T4 and free t3 (liothyronine) are normal, than there is no need to change your thyroid medication and it is unlikely contributing to your 'hypo' symptoms. You can consider checking a reverse t3 (liothyronine), and if elevated, you may benefit from t3 (liothyronine) replacement as well.

Hypothyroidism: If you have been hypothyroid you need to check the TSH and it should be at the lower limit of normal.
