Can Vitamins Be Taken Along With Syntroid For Being Tired, Sleeplessness, Dry Skin And Hairfall?

I have hypothyroidism, I'm sluggish all the time, very tired, but can't sleep throughout out the night, cold, skin dry with breakouts and my hair sheds. I am currently taking sythroid 25 mg. My question is, is there a vitamin I can take along with this medication to help my thyroid?

Dear user, definitely yes you should be taking vitamin B12, Vitamin D and calcium on a regular basis along with synthroid but not together. but before that you must ensure that the dose of synthroid is adequate for you. so please check your thyroid balance and let me know. Regards!
