My Integrative NP had me do thyroid labs

Results:

3.240. TSH

1.03 T4 free direct

2.5 T3 free

Thyroglobulin 1.5

TPOab 12

She said TSH more ideally would be around 1-1.5.
Wants me to start NP Thyroid 15 mg in morning before breakfast. I typically am leery of starting new drugs. I have some of the symptoms, but not all

Fatigue - No
Weight gain- I’m using diet and exercise to loose 10-12lbs
Cold intolerance - No
Dry skin - Mild
Constipation -use Magnesium to stay regular
Muscle weakness - No
Puffy face - No
Hoarse voice - No
Thinning hair- Yes
Slowed heart rate - No
Depression - Mild
Memory problems- Mild to moderate, forgetting words mostly. Feels like brain fog

Question:

1. Am I opening a Pandora’s Box by starting this treatment?
2. Do my numbers reflect a need for NP Thyroid
