Hello welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
Your symtoms can be from hypothyroidism. For that I suggest you to investigate with serum TSH estimation and free T4 estimation. If hypothyroidism present than levothyroxine should be started. Dose of it adjusted According to TSH level. For hashimoto thyroiditis anti microsomal antibody and anti thyrogloblulin estimation can be done. No need to try any other medicines as per my opinion.
Hope I have solved your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
