Hello
i do understand that you have been suffering from hypothyroidism and on treatment with thyroxine. Thyroxine is very safe medicine and well tolerated. If you feel lethargic with thyroxine you can start with low dose and then gradually up-titrate. Another option would be to take the medicine at bed time.
