Suggest Medications For Underactive Thyroid

Hi, I have an underactive thyroid and am currently prescribed 50mg levothroxine. I have had IBS symptoms due to work stresses and am currently experiencing some of the typical hypo symptoms (e.g. extreme fatigue, weakness). Should I take extra tablets to counter the fact that my levels may have dropped? Or any other advice?Thanks!
