Hi It is often the case with thyroid disease worse before better. Ask for a print out of all bloods, receptionist , with vital range ( differ). If it is not too bad you may have started on too high a dose for you. I would cut back to half for a week and then go up again You will need a retest in 6 weeks on the treatment, to adjust. I suspect the GP just did TSH, which is useless, and on that is saying it is OK.If you feel terrible this is likely. It is a long process to get the treatment right. Sometimes it needs to be Levo and T3 too.

Best wishes,

Jackie

How strange Kelso, but this was how I was at the beginning of treatment with Levothyroxine 16 years ago. Have not had this feeling for a long time, so can only assume that once you are optimally treated the feeling will go. Hope you improve son. Janet.
