Suggest Treatment Alternatives For Hashimoto’s Disease

I was diagnosed with Graves disease 12 years ago. After 5-6 years on medication, everything leveled out and I didn t need medication for the past 5 years. Now I have been diagnosed with Hashimotos and have been prescribed Synthroid. I m not liking the idea of being on medication for the rest of my life - is there another option? Also, is there a difference between Synthroid and generic? I prefer something made in the US - I have issues with medication being produced in another country, as I don t know what safety measures they use.
