Are you making sure that the supplements are kept away from any thyroid meds, particularly iron?
Perhaps you've overdone things with your new-found energy?

Yes;i've started taking my thyroxine at bedtime as energy levels better at night than morning.Maybe i did overdo it but it was so good to feel like normal again.
I have been on Levo almost 3 months with an increase a few weeks ago. I am not back to normal yet. I took 4000ui per day of vit D and at last blood test was still in severe deficiency range. I have upper to 6000ui per day and will be retested in a months time.
I have much better days and some still quite low. Allow you body time to heal and yes if I have overdone it I get days when I crash too.
Good luck.
