You need to be careful with iodine and only supplement if found to be deficient. Have you had an iodine test to see whether you have a deficiency?

There doesn't seem to be any information in your profile. Are you hypothyroid? Do you have Hashimoto's? If you have Hashimoto's then supplementing with iodine can increase autoimmune attacks - see chriskresser.com/iodine-for...

Because the extra iodine stimulated your thyroid gland. But, it can't last. Stimulating a sick gland long-term just makes it burn out faster.

Besides, on 150 mcg t4, you are getting quite a bit of extra iodine. Plus the iodine from your food. More that that would be a bad idea, and could cause further problems.
