Is it bad to have thyroid antibodies–should I take medicine for it?

I went to the doc for insomnia, she took full bloodwork.
Said my tsh was a little high and i have too many thyroid antibodies, i should start synthroid but i felt fine, just tired from insomnia.
I decided to get a second opinion, took another test, my tsh was a 1.
My insomnia started going away during that time too.
Called my doc back, he said i don’t need to take any meds.
I asked about the antibodies, he asked if i felt any symptoms, i said nope.

My insomnia is nearly gone and it’s NOT because of a thyroid problem btw, i have a lot on my mind so it’s that. I think too much, makes me wake up a lot.

My question is, should I take Synthroid if my thyroid antibodies are high if my tsh is normal or is that bad for my tsh? I feel fine other than sleepy from lack of sleep but some days, I’ll be able to sleep fine and I have a normal amount of energy, no problems. 🙂

What do you think?
Thank you Michelle.
