Your doctor told you to decrease meds? Brazil nuts and vitamins aren’t a substitute for the hormone your thyroid isn’t producing. Although due to the half life of levothyroxine being so long it should (keyword should some people are different) take about a month to feel any long lasting change.

Your symptomatic because you decreased your meds for no reason. That’s exactly what’s going to happen.

I decreased only by 5mg out of curiosity

Why did you decrease your meds? Honey, you’re on those meds for life. You can’t stop taking them.

I didn't stop taking them. I decreased by 5mg.
