Hello,
Thyroxine is a safe drug and side effects will be minimal. However, make sure that the hormone status will be within the normal range.
You can go for a thyroid function test ( TFT) and make necessary adjustments in the dose.
Hyperthyroidism (excess thyroid hormones) can cause symptoms similar in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
