1. since there is no alternative to hormone in any -pathy, thus you have to continue with synthroid.
2. since you are taking it for last 5 years, thus is/are there periodic evaluation after 6- 8 weeks to monitor drug response?
3. ADR [adverse drug effect] of said drug is/are: nervousness,excitability, muscle weakness, insomnia [indicated in history] apart from other cardiovascular problems [you may consult your doctor for exhaustive list]
4. no company will ever describe his/her product not to be authentic, they are in market to sell, earn and publicize their compound, so in bets interest it is wise not to fall for marketing gimmicks.
PS. Tell your health care provider about the medicines you use and any medicine you start or stop using, so that drug drug interaction can be managed or excluded
