HI, I Was Diagnosed With Hypothyroidism At 4 Years Old

HI, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 4 years old and since that time I have been taking levothyroxine/synthroid daily. I am no 35 years old thus have been taking this medication for 30 years. I would really like to trial going off the medication to see what will happen but my family practice doctor is against it. What are the risks and is there an alternative (natural) that I could take instead?
