Hello , I would advise you to consult your doctor before changing the  medicine. 
Also limit your intake of Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips, and bok choy, soy because research suggests digesting these vegetables may block the thyroid's ability to utilize iodine, which is essential for normal thyroid function.
