Is Taking Actalin Safe For Fatigue While On Levothyroxine?

I have been taking levothryoxine & levothyronine since 1998 when the left lobe of my thyroid was removed due to a growth on the lobe. I am almost 66 years old but am regularly active with a full time job and have maintained a youthful appearance overall. My dosage of medication has been consistent for a long time now however I still struggle with fatigue and require 9-10 hours sleep to be able to perform effectively. Feeling sluggish a not unusual since I cannot get 9-10 hours of sleep every night.Can I take a product called Actalin to enhance body function? Would I be able to discontinue the medication I have been on for so long?
