Hypothyroid dosage too high??

Hi. I was hoping someone maybe able to help. I have been hypothyroid for nearly 5years. After a few months of taking thyroxine. I was feeling great on 100mg a day. Tsh levels were always around 2. After having my 2nd child 3 years ago. I was feeling tired and fuzzy headed again. But put it down to sleepless nights. But at annual bloods. Levels were 45. So put on 200mg a day. Which I have been feeling fine up to a couple of months ago. Just not feeling myself. Fuzzy jittery sort of feeling. So tired. Palpitations. The usual symptoms I guess. So went for bloods expecting thyroid to be levels to be out of range again. But no. Tsh level of
0.65. So gp happy. But I am feeling so rotten. I am wondering if I am on too highly a dose??? Gp prescribed anti depressants. As I said I was moody and irritable quite a lot of the time. Just fed up with feeling like this I guess.

This is the eu thyroid thing he's responding to - it's lengthy - but the main thing noted by both is that other possible reasons for on going unwellness is often not checked and maximised by physicians.

Thank you for those. I will read and digest.
I know my iron levels are low as is my vit D.

I think there's an issue with some doctors happy with levels being in range whereas I think there's an optimum.
