Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It appears that you have hypothyroidism as per your test. And probably the autoimmune variety as your auto-antibody counts are high. While it is unfortunate, you will need to continue taking these medications life long as your thyroid is not making enough hormones. This is essential as the effects of low thyroid hormones are bad. Now, the medications are safe, and people all over the world consume these medicines with minimal side effects. Additionally, you should also exercise on a regular basis, as one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism is weight gain.

I hope this helped. Feel free to come back here with any further questions you have.
