@Rajneeshpuram NO, do not mess around with thyroid hormone, this stuff is nuclear. Unless you absolutely know you need it. If you went to a doctor and did a general test and he told you your thyroid hormone is low that does not mean to jump on medication. It means solve the root cause. 

99% of Hashimoto's cases are curable, medicating is the last resort. 

My hypothiroidism is related to a prolactinoma I got in the pituitary gland (is like a benign tumour) the size of a pea. It is not surgically removed unless it grows, and as far it's a dangerous procedure I wont get operated.

I suspect it was caused by taking SSRI's for 2 years when I had depression.
