Welcome to the forum, Leekaye1.

If you are optimally medicated on 50mcg you shouldn't need a thyroid supplement in addition. Post your thyroid results and ranges (the figures in brackets after the results) and members will advise whether you are optimally medicated.

Having said that, 200mcg Selenium is good thyroid support but it should be taken 2 hours away from Levothyroxine.
