Hi welcome to health care magic....
I can understand your problem....
See I will not recommend you to use actalin that is thyroid supplement.... It is not much useful....
For hypothyroidism the drug levothyroxin is useful....
You only have to do is adjust dose of levothyroxin according to serum TSH level....
Aim is to keep tsh level between 2 to 3. If needed dose can be increased or decreased according to need.
Hope this will help
Take care
Advise :Endocrinologist consultation if needed
