Supplements bought over the counter are not supposed to have any actual thyroid hormones in them, therefore, are basically useless.  

You're taking a pretty hefty dose... is your problem simply that you have trouble getting the med or are you not feeling well on that dose?

What's your location?  I just got switched to NatureThroid and had no trouble getting it?  It sounds like a problem with your pharmacy.  Have you tried other pharmacies?
