Hello,
If your TSH is within the target range, these symptoms cannot be attributed to either hypothyroidism or the pill. If your TSH is higher than normal then the symptoms you've described and more may occur as a consequence of poorly controlled hypothyroidism.
Supplements and other medicines cannot help you at this point. A diagnosis is required first. You should discuss the matter with your primary care physician. Be sure to include all the details about your health and symptoms though.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis, Internal Medicine Specialist
