Taking Eltroxin After Onset Of Hypothyroidism During Pregnancy. Feeling Terrible After Changing To Diotoxin. Possible To Change Medication Again?

I have been taking eltroxin for 4 years following the onset of hypothyroidism in my pregnancy. I have recently seen an endocrinologist who recommended changing to diotoxin and having been on it for 5 days I feel terrible. Is it possible to change back to eltroxin?
