Suggest Medication For Hypothyroidism

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 10 year ago, 3 months ago it was reclassified as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I went from 125 mcg synthroid to 150 mcg. My Doctor also gave me wellbutrin to attempt to treat mild depression, fatigue, and fibromyalgia. The side affects were terrible (extreme insomnia, and nausea/vomiting) and he took me off it. Then one dose of cymbalta left me with muscle weakness, dizzyness, headache, nausea so bad I couldn't get off the couch all day. It's now been 6 weeks so I can go get my thyroid blood tests done again. But I've gained weight this month without any dietary or exercise changes. I feel a lot worse, to the point that I am mostly non-functional in my life. I don't know what to do. Is there any thing else besides Synthroid that can help me?
