It sounds as though you need a meds adjustment.

It took around 18 months to get mine just right.

I have hypothyroidism i don't feel worse on meds but I don't particularly feel better. Have you checked your blood sugars google reactive hypoglycemia

It takes a while to get your dosage right.

When were you diagnosed and do you know what your tsh level was?
