Hi,
The golden rule is unless recommended by a doctor, do not take supplements, get the necessary nutrients directly from food only. Supplementation can very often overdose your body with vitamins and minerals, which can adversely affect. In your case, stop if possible, the supplements for few days and see if the symptoms go away, if so, do not take them, orelse, talk to your doctor about the symptoms.
I was paying $10 per month for Nature-throid and now have to pay $40.00 per month for Synthroid. I have tried Levothyroxine in the past and it disagreed with me greatly.
